Specialties

 As an associate attorney at BrownWinick, I’m involved primarily in the areas of business and corporate law. I aim to energetically pursue your interests while also being a friendly face you feel comfortable reaching out to. My ultimate goal is to help you build, grow, and strengthen successful businesses.

My Approach

 I strive to see the full picture before diving into a legal issue. That means taking the time to understand your business and goals, not just the legal question in isolation. With the broader context in mind, I focus on providing you with clear, concise, and actionable advice customized to your specific circumstances. I value attention to detail, but I also believe good legal advice should cut through unnecessary complexity and help you make informed decisions with confidence.

More About Me

I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and attended the University of Northern Iowa, where I graduated in 2022 with a B.A. in Finance. After graduation, I spent a short time working for a large insurance corporation before deciding to pursue a law degree. Three years later, I graduated from Drake University Law School with high honors, having also served on the editorial board of the Drake Journal of Agricultural Law.

In my spare time, I love to be outdoors, where I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing golf or basketball, and going on long walks. I’m also a sports fan; on Sundays, you can find me in front of my television watching my Pittsburgh Steelers.
