Why did you become a lawyer?
My grandmother spoke being an attorney over my life at a young age. I wasn’t sure at first, but after working in public service, I became intrigued by the legal process and wanted to learn more. I worked in the both the Ohio House and Senate and in the Court of Common Pleas as a Personal Bailiff. I had a front row seat to the legal process and became passionate about impacting my community by understanding the law.
What makes you different from other attorneys?
I am a connector. I am not so far removed from my clients that I can’t empathize or understand where they are coming from. This is not a large law firm where each case is a number and handed off to someone else. I build bonds that last even after the case is over. I want to help people improve their lives!
What is one fun fact about you?
If I wasn’t a lawyer, I’d be a stylist or fashion designer. I love being creative! While studying for the bar, I opened an online vintage boutique to make money.
