I am a graduate of Chicago-Kent College of Law and find joy in my work helping clients find peace of mind when faced with difficult family situations and circumstances. Prior to entering the legal field I enjoyed serving seniors through my role as the manager of assisted living facilities and served as a volunteer Ombudsman in DuPage County monitoring the well-being of nursing home residents.
I reside in DeKalb, IL and I volunteer as a board member and dog foster with an animal rescue. I share a home with my extra-large dog, Sam, and a cat, Phloof, and fancy myself a Koi pond enthusiast.
