Originally from the east side of the state, I moved to Grand Rapids after graduating from law school. I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Michigan in 2000 and my Juris Doctor from Wayne State University in 2004. I began my legal career at a small family law practice, opening my own firm with Jennifer Johnsen in 2006. We expanded our firm in 2010, adding Randall Velzen to our team. Our firm specializes in family law, including divorce, child custody and collaborative divorce cases. We also assist our clients with their estate plans and handle various probate matters. I am a loyal advocate, always offering ethical and honest advice. I truly love my job and enjoy helping families going through often difficult life changes. In my spare time, I enjoy running, traveling, watching my Michigan Wolverines and spending time with my family.
