Having started my legal career assisting in-house counsel in a business setting, I quickly recognized that I had a real desire to actually practice law. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and could no longer ignore that same drive to be a part of a small business. I am drawn to estate planning and small business clients for the genuine satisfaction of helping people protect and plan for their families' future and assisting entrepreneurs and small businesses in realizing their dreams. In my opinion, the best part of the job is nurturing the long-term relationships I build with my clients while providing the highest quality legal consultation.. I am an alumna of the University of Minnesota Law School, an active member of the Minnesota Bar Association and a volunteer with Wills for Heroes. In my free time, I love hanging out with my husband and two daughters.
