Education
I have always strived to do my best, in life and also in my academic pursuits. Beginning with Kindergarten and continuing to this day with my teaching duties, training attorneys as an expert in trial practice techniques, I have immersed myself in scholarship. Growing up in small town Illinois with a stint in English schools for four years taught me the value of hard work and perseverance.
My academic successes continued in college at the University of Illinois, where I was awarded many prizes and honors and graduated Summa Cum Laude, leading to my admission to Stanford Law School, where I experienced the benefits of a world class education while gaining practical experience at some of the top law firms in the world. To the present day I immerse myself in legal scholarship, teaching classes to other attorneys in my capacity as an expert at trial practice.
