I grew up in Carlsbad, California. I graduated from California State University Monterey Bay, with a Bachelor’s in Global Studies, and a Pre-Law Minor. I received a Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law. While at Florida Coastal, I participated in the JD/MBA program. I received an MBA from Jacksonville University. Additionally, I became a senior clinician at the Business and Entrepreneurial Law Clinic, where I assisted small businesses in Jacksonville. After law school, I represented clients in personal injury, social security disability, and veteran’s disability matters. I am also the chair for the Hillsborough County Bar Association’s YLD Youth Project’s Committee, organizing events for local at-risk youth. Outside of the office, I run marathons, go to the beach, and support Tampa sports teams.
