What do you enjoy most about what you do? Helping schools and parents resolve their
disputes amicably.
Has your path in law differed from your original expectations? Yes; If so, in what way? I
thought I would work in legal services and I still plan to at some point.
What are your future professional goals? I am interested in seeking a political office.
How do you juggle your personal and professional lives? My husband is amazing and my
kids are big so they all help me.
Tell us about your family. My husband works for Seminaries and Institutes of Religion
for the LDS Church. He coordinates early morning seminary in central Indiana and
teaches institute classes. I have five children: Emma (20), Sydney (18), Natalie (16),
Simon (13), and Drew (10).
What advice would you give to other women either interested or already working in the
law? Rely on your faith and family to get you through!
