I was born and raised in Jacksonville and I am very happy to be practicing law and raising my children where I grew up.  I graduated from Stanton College Preparatory High School in 1994 and went on to graduate from the University of Florida in 1997 with a public relations degree and then from the University of Florida College of Law in 2000.  I started my law career in corporate litigation in Orlando until I returned to Jacksonville in 2003 to start my family.  I loved serving the citizens of Jacksonville through my work at DCF, the Attorney General's Office and the Regional Counsel's Office, but having my own practice has definitely been the most rewarding.  I enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them navigate through some of the toughest times of their lives.
