About

I am a Colorado native and grew up in Mancos near the Four Corners. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a concentration in Counseling Psychology and a minor in Sociology from Mesa State College in 2000. I then received my Juris Doctorate in 2003 from the University of Nebraska, College of Law. Following graduation from Law School, I moved with my husband to Austin Texas, where I became a licensed attorney in the fall of 2003. During that same time, I became a new mom and chose to stay home with my first son. In early 2005 our family moved back to Colorado to help with a church plant in the Denver area. I then obtained my Colorado Legal License. In 2006, I began working as a Weld County Deputy District Attorney for the 19th Judicial District in Greeley, Colorado. Our family then moved back to the Grand Junction area and I continued my work for several years as a Mesa County Deputy District Attorney. As a Deputy District Attorney, I prosecuted both misdemeanor and felony level cases. However, most of my career as a prosecutor was spent handling the juvenile criminal docket. I felt it was important to help get the kids back on track through services, education, and appropriate consequences so that they could avoid making similar mistakes as adults. I am a member of the Colorado Bar Association and the Mesa County Bar Association. I am focusing my current legal practice on providing legal services for Estate Planning, Trusts, Probate, and adoption. I am also contracted as the City of Fruita Municipal Prosecutor. I am dedicated to giving my clients competent and compassionate assistance in planning for their futures and the future of their loved one’s.
