I take a highly personalized approach to the practice of law. I was drawn to the areas of Elder Law and Estate Planning through a combination of personal experience, passion and a particular aptitude for these areas of the law. My paternal grandmother spent seven years in a nursing home. She was healthy as can be but suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease. My maternal grandmother, on the other hand, was sound physically and mentally, but then broke her hip and had to enter a nursing home. I was extremely close to both of my grandmothers, and saw first-hand how difficult it can be to choose the appropriate care environment. I also experienced the emotional toll this process can take on the family. I received my BA in Political Science and Public Administration from Blackburn College in Carlinville, Illinois. I earned my Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri. I am an active volunteer for the Alzheimer’s Association. When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my beloved dog, running and watching Cardinal's baseball.
