BIOGRAPHICAL
INFORMATION |
|
I am a life long
resident of Macomb County. I graduated Magna Cum Laude
from Warren Woods Tower, with Honors from Michigan State
University, and I received my law degree from Wayne State
University. I am the proud sister of two brothers, one of
whom is a Roseville police officer and the other, an
entrepreneur. I am fortunate to have parents who are
very supportive and have taught me strong family values and good
work ethic. |

|
PROFESSIONAL
ACCOMPLISHMENTS |
I
have tried cases in the district and circuit courts of this
State, and have argued cases in the Michigan Court of
Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court. In addition to my
civil law practice, I have criminal law experience on both
sides of the spectrum, having prosecuted and defended those
accused of a crime.
