I have always had a passion for helping others and have travelled across Michigan to help protect my clients’ rights. My desire to help those most in need of legal assistance and vast experience in courts throughout Metro-Detroit have made me a catalyst of change in a broken system. From 2017-2018, I was the Regional Manager for the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission (MIDC). In that capacity, I worked with all the courts in Lapeer, Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair Counties in the State of Michigan’s goal to reform the indigent defense system. I am passionate about giving back to my community and my profession and I share my time with charitable organizations across the tri-county area throughout the year.
I received a Juris Doctorate from Thomas M. Cooley Law School and a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Central Florida.
