I grew up as a missionary kid in Peru, South America.  I became fluent in Spanish by age 8.  I graduated Valedictorian of my high school class in Iowa. I attended Covenant College on Lookout Mountain, completing my Bachelor's degree in 1995 in Natural Science.  In 1998 I became a Registered Nurse and began working at Erlanger Hospital in the Emergency Department and Cardiac Research.  A few years later I started law school at Georgia State University in Atlanta.  I worked full time in nursing and commuted to law school from Chattanooga to Atlanta for four years, while raising a family.  I opened my own law office upon finishing my law degree, and have been representing clients in both Tennessee and Georgia since.  I enjoy spending time with my husband (27 years strong!) and 2 children (ages 26 and 12).  As a family we enjoy many activities - karate, camping, bear hunting, horseback riding, snorkeling, and boating - just to name a few.

       I have been passionate about helping people my whole life. 

       I became an attorney to guide people through some of the most difficult moments in their lives and provide creative solutions to their problems, and I look forward to serving you!
