Biography
After obtaining my B.A. in International Affairs, I joined the United States Air Force. I met my husband (Army) in a joint branch training at Fort Leonard Wood and was lucky to enjoy some of our best bases in Alaska, Hawaii, Germany, and South Carolina. After separating, I attended Stetson’s College of Law and was fortunate to gain a lot of valuable experience and insight as a summer fellow at the Veterans Law Institute. I knew I wanted to stay in this area of law because I love working with Veterans and hearing their unique stories. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband, hiking, and taking the Jeep to our favorite Florida beaches.
