What previous experiences, prior to your work at Balch, influence your practice?

Prior to law school, I received a Master of Science in Biology, and worked in a variety of healthcare settings both private and public. I enjoy applying my passion for healthcare and knowledge of its intricacies to providing legal services to our clients.
What type of matters do you work on most often?

I most often advise clients on how to handle their regulatory and compliance matters. I also assist clients with project proposals and contract formation.
What do you find most exciting about your work?

The law is an ever evolving field that provides me the privilege of lifelong learning. I enjoy expanding the breadth and depth of my legal knowledge while navigating expanded or altered fields. I appreciate opportunities to work with new clients and start to build the foundation for long-lasting professional partnerships.
