Education and law are two of my greatest passions. Throughout my career, I've committed myself to educating others about their rights and assisting them with their legal needs. After obtaining my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, I attended Harvard University's Graduate School of Education where I studied educational pedagogy and learned how to effectively convey information to diverse groups of people. I then went on to study law and legal advocacy at the University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall) where I was a member of the California Law Review. After law school I was privileged to clerk for renowned civil rights jurist, Judge Damon J. Keith on the United States Court of Appeals and to spend two years at one of Arizona's premier law firms, Osborn Maledon. At the firm, I represented businesses and governmental entities in a variety of complex litigation matters in state and federal court.
