I am a lifelong Hudson Valley resident. A graduate of Arlington High School and Dutchess Community College, I received a Bachelors Degree in Political Science from The Pennsylvania State University. Thereafter, I was awarded a scholarship to attend Brooklyn Law School and received my Juris Doctor in 2005. While commuting to law school, I served the Hudson Valley by working for the Dutchess County Public Defender. Since being admitted to practice law by the New York State Bar in February 2006, I have proudly fought for injured workers and the disabled in the Hudson Valley region. Today, I continue my work for the injured workers’ of New York as a member of the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and have been recognized as one of the Top 40 Under 40 civil plaintiff advocates in the state by The National Trial Lawyers organization.
