As a blind attorney, I bring a unique and deeply personal perspective to my work in helping individuals with disabilities and their families navigate a society that wasn’t designed with their needs in mind. Having lived these challenges firsthand, I am not only passionate about advocating for the rights of people with disabilities but also deeply empathetic to the struggles they face in accessing essential resources and support systems.
I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Psychology in May 2021, followed by earning my Juris Doctor from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in May 2024. After passing the July 2024 Uniform Bar Examination with a score high enough to practice in any UBE jurisdiction, I was admitted to practice law in Ohio on November 12, 2024.
Throughout my own life, I've gained firsthand experience with programs like Medicaid waivers, Social Security, Individual Education Plans (IEPs), Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD), and Developmental Disabilities Boards. This personal insight, combined with my legal training, empowers me to effectively assist clients with disabilities in overcoming barriers and securing the support they need to thrive.
I also have the privilege of working alongside my guide dog, Pepper, a compact black lab from Leader Dogs for the Blind. She’s committed to her work but knows how to relax with some popcorn, treats, and her favorite squeaky toy.
