More About MeFor me, the simple question “Where are you from?” comes with a complicated answer. I’m fortunate to call many places home – Minneapolis, Minnesota; Miami, Florida; Lausanne, Switzerland; and Des Moines, Iowa. My international upbringing gave me a passion for travel and adventure. While completing my undergraduate degrees at Iowa State University (go Cyclones!), I studied abroad in Italy and South Africa.. I graduated in 2017 from Iowa State with a B.A in Political Science, a B.S. in Business Management with a minor in Economics. In 2021, I received a J.D., with honors, from Drake Law school and a M.B.A from Drake University College of Business and Public Administration. Prior to joining BrownWinick, I worked as an attorney at a boutique employment litigation law firm. I was admitted to the Iowa bar in 2021 and the Nebraska bar in 2023.. While at Drake Law School, I dedicated my time to the Drake Legal Clinic, serving clients in the Refugee, Criminal Defense, and Entrepreneurial and Transactional clinics.
