I was born in Missouri and lived in North Carolina and Minnesota with my family before we moved to Pittsburgh when I was 13.  I have always found a multitude of ways to be active in the community, from academic organizations and volunteer groups to church activities.  I am the kind of person who enjoys pushing things forward and introducing new ideas, no matter what I am doing.

In my free time, I enjoy reading nonfiction, playing games, croquet, and going for walks in the neighborhood.

I am thrilled to be realizing my dream as an attorney and a small business owner, and my passion is helping other small business owners achieve success.
