I started at May Oberfell Lorber as a law clerk in 2000. Upon graduation from law school, I became an associate, progressed to partnership, and have been with MOL ever since. I am passionate about my career, and thankful to be surrounded by such talented attorneys at MOL and in our community in general. I am licensed in both Indiana and Michigan, with the primary focus of my practice being litigation. I defend health care providers in medical malpractice disputes, manufacturers in commercial litigation disputes, and landowners in premises liability disputes. I also counsel and represent clients in wrongful death claims, various commercial litigation matters, shareholder disputes, employment litigation disputes, and trust and estate litigation. I am also an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School where I teach a Deposition Skills course. I am compassionate about animals and enjoy working out and spending time with my friends and family.
