A Little About Me

​

I was born and raised in Nevada, but recently moved to Denver after living in Omaha for 7.5 years. Through, I still travel to Omaha, frequently, for work!

A 2012 graduate from the University of Nevada, I first attempted going into the forensic science field. Until, in 2016, the State of Nevada changed a law that impacted hundreds of people. After some intense research, I made the decision to go to law school. 

​

I am a 2020 graduate of the Creighton University School of Law, where I was known for my tenacity and unwillingness to quit.

​

After learning the ropes, and cutting my teeth, as a clerk and first-year associate at a small, local firm, I made the decision to form Battle Born Law LLC, with strong nod to my home state roots.

​

Currently, I practice primarily in Eastern Nebraska in Juvenile Court, as a Guardian ad Litem and parent attorney, as well as court-appointed private counsel for criminal matters, and retained clients.

​

Starting Fall 2025, my practice will be expanding into the Nebraska Panhandle, bordering counties in Eastern Colorado, and the Denver Metro Area.
