Born in California, I was raised mostly in the midwest, after moving to Iowa and then Michigan. I am the oldest of four children raised by a principal and a teacher. This lead to an upbringing of constant learning with joy.

 

Coming from a family of educators, I got my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. That brought my husband and myself to Florida where I taught third grade while he attended graduate school. After a few years I was looking for a different way to make an impact on people's lives and realized that meant pursuing a law degree.

​

Upon graduation from law school I was admitted to the Florida Bar and began practicing Personal Injury law for a small firm in Orlando. Soon it became clear that we needed to relocate to Texas, so I drew on my education experience while I waited to be admitted to the Texas Bar. I had the opportunity to do legal document review for a large federal civil case, and then began working for a small immigration firm. From there I moved to another firm where I established their immigration practice. I was also able to develop my estate planning experience which led to opening this firm.

​

Today, I live in McKinney with my husband, Andrew, and my daughter, Gianna. Together, we are active in our church, enjoy spending time with family, and treasure quiet conversations. I look forward to sharing in your story.
