About Me
- Why did you become a lawyer?
I love challenging myself, speaking up for others, and writing. Pursuing my passions led me to become a lawyer.
- Which are of practice are you most passionate about and why?
Legal research and writing. Making an effective argument starts with effective research. This area of practice lets me put on my Sherlock Holmes cap and investigate all kinds of case law- from construction defects to contract disputes and everything in between. Once I have all the puzzle pieces, I love putting them together to write a compelling argument to go before the court.
- What do you consider to be your greatest strength as a lawyer?
My commitment. The moment you walk through the door, you can tell you have my undivided attention and that I'm going to give my all to help you navigate the law and find the relief you are seeking.
- What sets you apart from other lawyers?
My perspective. While some people have an eagle's eye for detail, mine's more like an owl's night vision: I see things others miss.
- What do you do for fun?
Language learning. Every week I meet up with my former professor and classmates to translate German and Old English texts into English and discussing what we read (it's more interesting than it sounds- I promise!
Bouldering and hiking- I enjoy rock climbing at ClimbTulsa and going on adventures with my friends on hiking trails in Broken Bow and Fayetteville.
