Providing dedication, personal attention, and responsive service for all family law matters.
Born in Metairie, I lived the majority of my life in the Shreveport-Bossier area. After graduating from Loyola College Prep in 2005, I headed off to Jackson, MS to attend Millsaps College where I majored in Religious Studies, minored in Psychology, and was a Lilly Fellow. As a Lilly Fellow, I completed an externship at Mississippi Families for Kids, a fellowship at the Hinds County District Attorney's Office, and a leadership project at Matt's House Emergency Shelter for Women and Children. I graduated from Millsaps magna cum laude in 2009 and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
Eager to gain the tools to make a difference, in 2009, I began law school at the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center. During my law school career I completed a summer clerkship at the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General in the Criminal Appellate Division, an externship at the East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney's Office in the Domestic Violence Section, and an externship at the Baton Rouge Battered Women's Program in the Legal Services Component. I also worked as a law clerk at Akers & Wisbar and participated as a Certified Student Attorney in the LSU Juvenile Defense Clinic. I graduated from law school in May of 2012, sat for the Louisiana State Bar Exam in July of 2012, and was sworn in to practice in October of 2012.
My desire is to serve the Louisiana community as an advocate for families, children, and victims of abuse. I enjoy doing adoptions, estate planning, family law, protective orders, and successions. I currently reside in New Orleans with my husband, Chris, and am an active member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the 22nd JDC Bar Association, the 21st JDC Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association, the Jefferson Bar Association, the Junior League of New Orleans, the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, New Orleans Young Professionals Group, and Power of Women. I currently serve on both the Children's Law Committee and the Public Access and Consumer Protection Committee for the Louisiana State Bar Association, as well as the Board of Directors for the New Orleans Council on Aging. And I am a Qualified Family Law Mediator. I enjoy cooking, reading, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family, friends, and my dog, Annabelle.
