My main area of practice is employment law with an emphasis on discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, workers' compensation and unemployment. Whether I represent the employer or the employee, I am focused, dedicated, and driven by a desire to make the workplace better for my client. In order to best represent my clients, I do approach each case aggressively. I am a true people person, with client-focused skills that enable me to provide quality and caring service to my clients. I believe in a commitment to my clients through a team approach by corresponding directly with my clients throughout their case.
For leisure activities, I enjoy biking, hiking, working out and watching movies. My hobbies include collecting vintage German holiday items and vintage classic dolls.
