What can I solve for you?

I can support clients with practical legal advice on education law matters to allow administrators to focus on what matters most – student success. I am prepared to support schools in any type of legal matter they may face.

What's it like to work with me?

I am a team player who believes in playing to my teammate's strengths. I am a zealous advocate for strong public education. My experience in public education grounds my realistic perspective of how schools function on a daily basis and the challenges education professionals face.
