I was born in Cleveland in the mid-eighties.  While I’ve spent a majority of my life in the Northeastern Ohio, I am particularly proud to call myself a Buckeye.  For my undergraduate education, I attended The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, graduating with a B.A. in English.  After graduation, I went on to study at The University of Akron, School of Law.  While in law school, I had several excellent job opportunities that exposed me to many diverse areas of the law.  My first hands-on exposure to the legal field occurred at the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office, where I worked as a legal intern.  I went on to become a law clerk for the City of Cleveland’s Law Department, where I was able to work as a Prosecutor in traffic court, as well as help try misdemeanor cases.  I finished my final year of law school as a law clerk for the United States Attorney’s Office in Akron.   I attribute the foundation of my legal knowledge and skills to the excellent supervisors and colleagues I had throughout my law school career.
