I recently moved here with my husband and two young children. Born and raised in Iowa, and having lived and practiced law for 10 years in Kansas City, I’m enjoying exploring Northwest Ohio with my family. I’m competitive, love good Mexican food, and enjoy cheering on my favorite football teams (Iowa Hawkeyes and Pittsburgh Steelers).
