My Story

From a young age I knew I wanted to be an attorney, and my passion for the law has grown alongside my passion for advocating for my clients. I enjoy getting to know my clients, their stories and their case, and provide legal solutions to the problems they face.
When I’m not in the office, my time is devoted to the joys of life with family and friends. I’m an avid traveler, a fervent supporter of Iowa football, and a curious explorer of Des Moines’ hidden treasures. These experiences enrich my life and, in turn, fuel my passion for my work.

Insights & Experiences

As a lawyer, I am wholly dedicated to advocating for those entangled in legal challenges. My mission is to guide clients through the complexities of the legal system and work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcomes for them. It’s not just a job; it’s a commitment to help my clients and a promise to stand by their side during the course of their case and beyond.

Above all, I hold transparency, accountability, and hard work in the highest regard. These values are the cornerstones of my practice and my life. They remind me every day of the lawyer—and person—I strive to be.

Background & Expertise

I started at Shindler, Anderson, Goplerud & Weese, P.C. after clerking for them while earning my law degree from the St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2023 (J.D. with Honors: Cum Laude). Before law school, I also studied Political Science, History, and International Relations as an undergraduate at the University of Iowa (B.A. 2020).

As an undergraduate and graduate student, I took pride in holding multiple leadership positions including President of my sorority and treasurer for the Federalist Society. I was also a Student Liaison to the Hennepin County Bar Association’s New Lawyers Section and co-founder of the New Lawyers Section, a student group at St. Thomas affiliated with the HCBA NLS. My desire to make an impact drives everything I do, including my work in family law, which primarily focuses on divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, and litigation.
