My Why
What powers my practice
I began my career as a teacher, and when I transitioned into law, I knew I wanted a role that kept people at the center of my work. In labor and employment, I’m energized by the challenge of tackling complex issues while collaborating with colleagues and clients to find solutions that make a real difference. I see law as a helping profession—one that not only supports clients in high-stakes matters but also strengthens communities, whether through daily counsel or pro bono service in Milwaukee.
