Specialties

I’m an associate in BrownWinick’s Intellectual Property practice group, where I help clients protect and grow the ideas, brands, and businesses they have built. I work closely with clients to understand their businesses, identify opportunities to protect and leverage their intellectual property, and develop practical strategies that support their broader goals. Whether you’re launching something new, growing an existing business, preparing for a business transaction, or navigating a legal challenge, I aim to provide clear advice and practical solutions that help you move forward. 

My Approach

Good legal advice starts with understanding your goals. You know your business best, and your perspective helps ensure the advice you receive is tailored to your needs. Your legal issues don’t have to feel complicated, and you should have a clear sense of your options and how they fit into the bigger picture.

A strong attorney-client relationship is built on trust, communication, and a shared understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, with an emphasis on finding solutions that make sense for you and your business. By providing informed and targeted advice, my objective is to equip you with the knowledge and guidance you need to make confident decisions, achieve your goals, and position your business for the best possible outcome.

More About Me

I was born and raised on a farm in a small rural community in Northeastern Iowa. I attended Iowa State University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Biology. Following graduation, I worked as an engineer in product development and manufacturing at large, international engineering companies.

I later attended Drake University Law School, where I graduated with High Honors. During law school, I served as Research Editor for the Drake Law Review, worked as a Legal Writing Fellow, and competed in moot court. I also had the opportunity to serve as an Honors Judicial Intern for a federal district court judge in the Southern District of Iowa. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, exercising, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
