About

As a Chicagoland native and proud graduate of Illinois State University and Valparaiso University Law School, I’ve always believed in the power of the law to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. From a young age, I was taught to value fairness, compassion, and resilience—principles that have shaped my career as an advocate for justice.

One of my proudest professional achievements was helping secure a $25.5 million jury verdict against the Hammond Police Department in a landmark civil rights case. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about standing up for someone who felt powerless and ensuring their story was heard. That experience reaffirmed my commitment to fighting for justice in all its forms.

But beyond the courtroom, I’m more than just a lawyer. I’m a wife, a proud stepmom, and an aunt who values connection and community. Being part of a blended family has taught me the importance of love, patience, and togetherness. Whether I’m hosting summer barbecues filled with laughter, cheering my family on at their games, or sharing quiet moments with loved ones, my family inspires me to work harder and dream bigger every day.

When I take on a case, I bring not just my legal expertise but my whole heart. I understand that behind every legal issue is a person, a family, and a story, and I’m here to help my clients navigate their challenges with compassion, determination, and a commitment to justice.
