63. #FEMSQUIRE Series: Afshan Ajmiri Giner, Esq.

Afshan Ajmiri Giner, Esq. is a Partner at the law firm Florio Perrucci, which has offices throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.  Afshan practices in the New Providence (New Jersey) office and is a member of the Firm’s Education Practice Group, with a focus on education/school law, labor and employment, and representation of local governments/public entities.
As the daughter in a South Asian immigrant family, Afshan explains how she deviated from a pre-med orientation to follow her calling as a lawyer.  Afshan shares how her personal family background shaped her, and in particular her grandmother, who strongly encouraged Afshan to pursue higher education.  
No aspect of Afshan's career was a happy accident. She has carefully cultivated every bold step to build her credentials and support the machine that ensures a quality education for the community.  And she's nowhere near done.
