I was born in San Antonio, TX, where I spent the first decade of my life. A change in employment for my father meant a move to South America. There I spent five years living in Venezuela before returning to the great state of Texas, where I have resided ever since. My time in South America allowed me to experience an entirely different culture and gave me the opportunity to become fluent in Spanish, a valuable asset in my current practice.. After graduating from high school in Dallas, I attended Texas Tech University where I received a BBA in International Business from the Rawls College of Business. During that time, I also studied abroad in Spain, where I was able to complete a minor in Spanish. Before continuing my education, I moved to Vail, Colorado where I worked as a ski patroller at the Beaver Creek Resort for two seasons. Later, I attended law school in Fort Worth, earning my Juris Doctor from the Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now the Texas A&M University School of Law).. I joined Bailey & Galyen in 2013 to work in its Workers' Compensation department protecting the rights of Texas workers.
