A Florida native, I was raised in Tampa, attending Academy of Holy Names and graduating from Armwood High School. I am the oldest of five children. My mom is a teacher by profession so I knew I had to make good grades in school. I attended college and law school on scholarship. I majored in Business Finance and completed the honors program at Florida State University then I attended the University of Florida College of Law. I have practiced in diverse areas of law and litigated successfully but thoroughly enjoy drafting and have happily settled in the area of estate planning and probate and trust administration.
