After nearly 25 years in the employee benefits industry, I decided to go back to school to pursue my dream of becoming an attorney.  Coincidentally, I had the privilege of being a primary caregiver for my mother as she struggled with Alzheimer's Disease. Also, a close friend was working with dementia and Alzheimer's patients.  The struggles of patients and their families, the wear and tear, both financially and emotional, set my heart on fire with a passion to help those in need when struggling family illness of any kind.  I believe all these experiences occurred at or around the same time to inspire me to pursue a career in the areas of estate planning and elder law.  Specifically, to help families plan for and endure in times of need.
