I am a Wisconsin estate planning attorney who meets the legal representation and advice needs of individuals, their families, and their businesses throughout the state. Through my approachability and commitment to providing clear communication in legal matters, I focus on building strong client relationships with my clients and the local community. I safeguarded my clients' lives, families, and businesses, by owning and operating a solo law practice. Along the way, I explored and implemented new technological solutions to be efficient and to get things done.

Now, after working in different fields to vary experiences and to spend more time with family in Milwaukee on weekends, I returned to my role as an attorney with a law firm in Madison, Dane County to allow my initiative, talents, interests, and career to grow. My goal is to inspire growth in others through professional community involvement.

I am a serious professional, possessing an optimistic spirit. I am intelligent, assertive, outspoken, and driven to lead. I have excellent abilities to understand difficult organizational problems, make decisions, and create solid solutions. I enjoy staying well-informed on a plethora of topics and excel at public speaking. I value knowledge, competence, efficiency, and organization. I prefer using multi-disciplinary approaches. I continuously hone my keen verbal and written communication talents. I consistently maintain a professional demeanor while interacting with others, while working alone, and as part of a team. I enjoy interviewing people in-person and telephonically. I work multiple tasks sequentially, compute over various platforms, and prioritize and organize my workload to meet time-sensitive deadlines.
