My areas of practice are in litigation-civil rights/municipal and employment, and I have practiced at all levels in both state and federal court.

I grew up just outside Madison, Wisconsin and I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After completing my studies at the UW, I was accepted into the Hansard Scholars program and I moved to London where I served as an intern in the British Parliament.  After fulfilling a bucketlist goal of mine to travel Europe, I headed to Milwaukee to enroll at Marquette University Law School.

My years in law school were some of the most rewarding-and sometimes stressful-years of my life. Not only did I learn the true definitions of hard-work and critical thinking, but I also gained my independence and the confidence to assert myself through both writing and oral advocacy. While at Marquette, I served on the Marquette Law Review. I also competed in the National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition in California, where I recieved an award for the competition's third-best respondent's brief.  I also served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Dennis P. Moroney and interned in the legal department at Kohler Co.

I now live in Milwaukee, although I travel back to Madison often. I love college basketball and football (go Badgers!) and the NFL (go Packers!). I also enjoy traveling as much as I can, reading and writing, and spending time with family and friends.
