A global citizen at heart, my international journey began in Costa Rica, transitioned to Australia in my youth, and ultimately led me to the U.S. Landing in Minnesota as a teenager, I settled in Omaha to pursue law school. My academic passion fueled Summa Cum Laude graduations with an A.A. in Philosophy from Minneapolis College and a B.A. from the University of Minnesota. This rigor continued at Creighton University where I earned my Juris Doctorate with a full scholarship through their Accelerated Juris Doctor program. My top 10% national ranking on the Uniform Bar Exam ignited a passion for helping others succeed, leading me to become a Bar exam tutor across the country. Driven by a desire to advocate for vulnerable youth, I launched a solo practice dedicated to representing juveniles in abuse and neglect cases. This commitment to justice ultimately led to a rewarding junior partnership at Gnuse Law.
