I graduated cum laude from Oklahoma City University School of Law in 2008, where I served as a Resources Editor on the Law Review and as President of the Women's Law Student Association. I was also awarded membership in the Phi Delta Phi Honor Fraternity and the William J. Holloway Inn of Court.. After law school, I began my career at a major independent oil and gas company where I held the position of title landman and later as title attorney. Since 2014, I have been in the private sector where my practice focuses on estate planning, probate, adoption, guardianship, LLC formation and the preparation of oil and gas title opinions. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband, Zach, and my two daughters, Ava and Maddie.
