Follow Your Heart: Nancy de Ita’s Journey to a Fulfilling Law Career

Nancy de Ita was born in the Bay Area, but traveled to many places in her life, each inspiring her to pursue something new. Nancy went to college in Mexico, earning a B.A. in Spanish Literature. It was also in Mexico she met her husband. Once the two of them returned to the Bay Area to start a family, Nancy attended law school, working in personal injury law, family law, and workers’ compensation law before she ultimately opened up her own firm.

Nancy was mentored by previous Boomer Bar guest, Marie Weiner. Like Marie, Nancy served as the president of the San Mateo Bar Association and has also worked on the Diversity Committee with host Deborah Kemper. 

Listen to the episode to hear Nancy’s advice for young lawyers, and where she considers the best destination she’s ever traveled to.
