Grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho, in a family of four children.  Traveled for several years before achieving a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and a Bachelor's Decree in Political Science at Boise State University.  In law school, headed moot court program and managed symposium edition of the Idaho Law Review.  Extremely dedicated to work and the people I work with.

After working in a large firm environment engaged in business and contract work, settled into a small, family-run and family-oriented firm at Gulstrom, Henson & Petrie, PC.  After witnessing the anxiety and lack of communication many individuals--including personal family and friends-- had with other attorneys in their family law cases, became committed to giving each client a high level of individual attention and education about choices in his or her case. 

Outside of work, I enjoy river rafting, the outdoors, gardening and cooking for family and friends.
