She then returned to litigation, obtained a Certificate from UCLA in Spanish/English legal translation and interpretation, and pursued many personally rewarding volunteer interests, such as becoming a docent and translator at a local museum and interpreting at a domestic violence shelter. Ms. Palmer enjoys many hobbies with her children and husband, a money manager, including fly fishing, hiking, reading, and movies.
