You Can Get Through This!
I provide one-on-one representation to help you with your personal injury, medical negligence, products liability or criminal case. I understand that this is a difficult time for you, but you can get through this. You have the power to make these challenging decisions, and I will help you navigate them and guide you in the right direction.
My Education
I graduated from Capital University Law School, cum laude, in May 2010. I participated on the Jessup International Law Moot Court Team and made the Dean's list.
I studied Classics at Kenyon College for my undergraduate degree. I worked on the Literary Magazine (HIKA) and was a tour guide for the Brown Family Environmental Center. I was fortunate enough to spend the spring and summer of 2006 studying abroad in Greece.
In 2003, I graduated from Columbus Academy as valedictorian.
My Experience
I have more than 10 years of legal experience, and have provided counsel on every aspect of serious injury and wrongful death claims on behalf of injured parties, criminal defense, as well as medical malpractice, products liability and complex consumer matters.
In My Free Time...
I love the outdoors! I enjoy running, strength/interval training, skiing, kayaking, camping, hiking, backpacking, yoga, reading and gardening.
I ran the Emerald City Half Marathon in August 2019 and the Columbus Marathon in 2015, participated in the Kentucky and Ohio Tough Mudder, went to Colorado Mountain School in summer 2002 and Alaska's Outward Bound Leadership Semester in summer 2004.
