An Attorney With Local Roots
A deep understanding of the legal process goes hand in hand with a strong connection to the community. As a lifelong Illinois resident, I bring both to my legal practice. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Illinois Wesleyan University and my Juris Doctor from Chicago-Kent College of Law. After graduation, I began my legal career in Chicago, handling cases at both the state and federal levels. Today, my husband, our three children, and I call Edwardsville home. When I’m not practicing law, you’ll often find me cheering on my children at their baseball, soccer, basketball, and track events. We are active members of the Troy United Methodist Church, where we value being part of a supportive community. I am proud to be licensed to practice law in both Illinois and Missouri, offering comprehensive legal guidance to individuals and families across both states.
