A mom to Gabe (3) and Elaina (6 months) A wife to Mike, who I married about a year after meeting (online) – when you know, you know! An avid Notre Dame fan A Barnes & Thornburg lifer. I started as a summer associate and have worked in three offices, and truly love them all. A horseback rider and competitor A firm believer that “love is love” Extremely close to my (large and loud) family Excited to attend any sporting event A devoted friend. I had 12 bridesmaids who are all still my best friends, and I would have a few more to add if I were getting married today! Happiest when I am with my kids (and on a beach, if we are getting specific)

Half Dutch and half Mexican, and I always thought that was a unique combo Named after my Dutch great-great-aunt; nobody pronounces my name correctly, but I’m never offended by it Occasionally a stand-in for my husband’s social media projects at work and was on a billboard once An animal lover and self-proclaimed “cat lady”. I also have the sweetest pit bull ever. A major control freak and have to remind myself to “let it go” frequently All about camping, fishing and hiking and I go on annual kayak trips at Turkey Run Married to someone four inches shorter than me – without heels on A band geek at heart; I played clarinet for seven years, piano for a couple and now handbells in my church choir An avid concert-goer – I go to about 20 concerts a year A person with MAJOR anxiety. Agreeing to be featured here made me dizzy and my throat close up.

Angela B. Freeman Indianapolis
Thankful every day to be married to the most amazing man on earth (being married to an architect means there’s always something in our perfect mid-century modern house that could be better with a little renovating) Mom-bragging about my intelligent, successful and loving son and equally delightful daughter-in-law at every opportunity Pleased to report that the rumors are true: being a grandparent is the BEST! THING! EVER! Fiercely protective and supportive of the important people in my life A proud vegan for nearly 20 years – I can come up with a way to cook tofu that even YOU will like Always listening to music – new artists and old favorites A Peloton-er after pivoting from OrangeTheory Fitness at the start of the pandemic A lifelong boater who has a long list of why spending a summer day floating on a lake is good for your mental health A licensed motorcycle driver who sadly sold my bike after asking “Why are other drivers so disrespectful?” enough times that I knew I would be pushing my luck if I continued on two wheels In my 21st year at Barnes & Thornburg and still learn something new about our firm almost every day

Ashley Faith Deweese, with a long-standing faith in the Lord’s will for my life A tried and true social butterfly who often gets severe FOMO (fear of missing out) Full of jokes, whether seemingly inappropriate at times or not A fierce, yet reasonable “bulldog” when advocating for myself and others A woman who has a profound belief in true equality for all An avid traveler, having visited 15-plus countries to date (including a 45-day solo backpacking trip around the world in 2019) A proud native Texan – Go Cowboys, Mavs and Stars! Thankful for my family and their unconditional support of my personal and career goals every step of the way Obsessed with early morning cycling and HIIT workout classes, which soothe my mind, body and soul A lover of scrapbooking and collecting memorabilia from special moments
Marci Hunter Fort Wayne
An Indiana native, but lived in California and Michigan before returning to Indiana – I hope to retire to someplace tropical An empath, so negativity literally makes me sick A music lover of all genres and live music. I cannot play any instruments, but I want to learn the guitar so I can play Hotel California by the Eagles. Wanting to be on a game show because I love trivia! I am full of useless information. Part of a huge family and I am extremely close to ALL of them. It’s not uncommon for 20 or 30 of us to vacation together at one time. Holidays are also CRAZY. A foodie of sorts, so I love to try new eateries. As a child who traveled a lot due to military parents, I was exposed to different cultures and restaurants. I learned that “I’ll have the chicken!” works just about anywhere. A HUGE sports fan. I love all sports and grew up playing basketball, volleyball and softball. My husband and I recently played in softball and bowling leagues. These days I’m exploring yoga. A sci-fi fan. I love anything related to vampires and werewolves. I don’t like zombies because, of course, they are not real. Very social and love meeting new people Very BLESSED

A mom to a miracle baby who almost did not make it into this world Striving to be beyond my insecurities Funny, or at least I think I am – I may be getting pity laughs A Disney fanatic – Disney World is my ultimate happy place A Black woman who in the past has not celebrated it Always happy to help Never satisfied until I solve a problem or win an argument, you can ask my husband A wife who is incredibly proud to be married to a first-generation immigrant from Mexico The first in my family to go to college A singer. I gave up a full scholarship to the music program at Western Michigan University to pursue environmental science and become a lawyer.
A Michigan Wolverines fan – Go Blue A cook in the making and love trying new recipes A cat mom to my rescue, Luna A lover of traveling to the beach – especially Sanibel Island, Florida Always up for a challenge A Fort Wayne, Indiana, native A Purdue University Fort Wayne alum So grateful for all of my family and friends who support me through it all A Starbucks addict A shopping enthusiast
Kaitlyn Judkins Fort Wayne
A proud graduate of The Ohio State University The mother of an adopted rabbit A lover of classic literature, rock music, and movies of all kind Spending more time in the kitchen to rise out of my amateur cooking status Native to Lake Erie and grew up spending summers on the water New to yoga and enjoying the beautiful balance it’s brought to my routine Continuing to add more plants to my overwhelming collection Always open to new experiences, planned or spontaneous Thankful for my incredible friends and their senses of humor Learning from my parents to stay true to my own values for a happy life
