My calling in life is to utilize my advocacy talents for the purpose of serving people in our community. Specifically, my mission is to serve injured people who need help fighting the insurance companies that refuse to pay the true measure of my client’s harms and losses. I was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. My undergrad degree was a Bachelor of Science in Communications from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I then graduated Magna Cum Laude from Syracuse University College of Law where I finished in the top 8% of my law school class. In law school, I was inducted into the Moot Court Honor Society and the Justinian Honorary Law Society; I made the Dean’s List for five consecutive semesters; I was a finalist in the prestigious MacKenzie Lewis Appellate Advocacy Competition; and, I received the top grade in Civil Procedure.
