When I Feel Most At Home

Jeryl was born and raised in Boston. Although you'd be hard pressed to hear the accent after 32 years in Houston, she is still an avid Boston sports fan and lover of cold weather. She tries to say Astros v Red Sox games are a win-win situation so she doesn't have to choose her loyalty. Jeryl enjoys traveling with her husband Jeff, also an attorney in Houston, and their three children (Orly, Olivia and Asher). She loves cooking and hosting family and friends every chance she gets and regularly plays mahjong and pickleball with friends. Her love of reading led her to chair multiple school book fairs and thereafter, the Houston JCC book and arts festival which is the largest of its kind in the country.
