I have always enjoyed helping people solve problems. Because of that, I wanted a profession where I could focus on this desire to serve and be challenged intellectually at the same time. Law is the perfect intersection of these motivations.. By the time I completed my undergraduate degree from Central Christian College I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. I earned my Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Law in 2015. Following law school, I joined a mid-size firm representing business clients with breach of contract matters in Missouri and Kansas state courts. I am grateful for the valuable hearing and trial experience I gained during this time.. In April 2018, I decided to make a change to a smaller firm where I would have more opportunity to really get to know the people I'm representing, and in doing so be better able to help them. Working at Morefield Speicher Bachman, LC in construction and business law, I have the added bonus of getting to work with subcontractors and skilled laborers which takes me right back to my early days in McPherson.
