I am the youngest child of Rick Beck, an oil field worker, and Joyce Beck, a factory worker. I was raised on a family farm/ranch in rural Ada Oklahoma, where I learned the value of hard work, family, friends, and good food.. In September of 2011, I joined the Forbes & Forbes family where, while I am well versed in many areas of law, I have found passion and focus in Social Security Disability Law.. After graduating from Latta High School in 2002, I attended East Central University on an academic scholarship where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.  While attending East Central, I worked the 4-midnight shift at Pre-Paid Legal (now Legal Shield) where I met my husband. I received a scholarship to Oklahoma City University College of Law and began attending college there in 2007 where I earned her Juris Doctorate and certificate in Health Law in 2010. While attending Oklahoma City University, I was a member of the Moot Court Society, Law Review, and Phi Delta Phi (a Legal Honor’s fraternity).  I passed the July 2010 Bar and is currently admitted to practice in the state of Oklahoma, Eastern District of Oklahoma, Western District of Oklahoma, Northern District of Oklahoma and Social Security Disability Courts..
