Chief of Staff Norma Buster joined C.A. Goldberg, PLLC in 2018 as Intake Coordinator, and then grew into her role as Director of Client Relations. Now as Chief of Staff, Norma is the firm anchor!
She plays a crucial role in overseeing almost every aspect of our firm’s operations, working closely with Carrie to execute and implement our various projects and initiatives. Norma oversees our marketing and PR, sales efforts and day-to-day firm operations, while also strategizing for growth and leading the hiring, training and onboarding processes for our staff.
Norma continues to meet with potential clients, guiding survivors through the first steps of our legal process. She understands firsthand what survivors are going through; at age 19, she was a client of our firm as a victim of stalking and image-based sexual abuse at the hands of an ex.
Norma’s commitment to empowering others to demand justice for themselves goes beyond her work at the firm. She is a huge advocate for survivors of image-based abuse. Her advocacy and activism around the fight for sexual privacy rights have led Norma to attending events at the White House, championing major legislation, and sharing her own lived experience to push for reform. Norma is also a member of the inaugural Board of Directors for MyOwn Image, a nonprofit organization with a mission to combat image-based sexual abuse and other forms of technology-facilitated gendered violence.
As a sex-positive victims’ rights advocate, Norma has served on several panels and shared her personal trauma and journey to healing with various media platforms. She is also the host of the podcast Oral Arguments, where she has candid conversations with others who are doing significant work at the intersection of sex, tech and victims’ rights.
Norma has obtained training in Adult Mental Health First Aid through Thrive NYC.
