Comments on Profession
I believe parties are best suited to make decisions about their future. Mediation offers the opportunity for parties to reach a workable solution with dignity. My role as the mediator is to facilitate settlement discussions and to help parties problem solve and consider alternative options to resolve their dispute.
Education
University of Iowa – B.A. 2008 Northern Illinois University College of Law – J.D. 2011
Areas of Training
Family law, including dissolution of marriage, child custody, division of assets and debts, domestic violence; school law; and mediation techniques.
Work Experience
I have focused my career on family law and school law. I began my career at a children’s law center representing children in high-conflict custody and divorce cases in 2011. I later joined Shuttleworth & Ingersoll in 2014. I enjoy working with families and students to help them make important decisions about their future.
