Biography

I primarily practice in the areas of criminal defense, juvenile law, and public health law. I also handle some other types of matters, including estate planning/probate, guardianships/conservatorships, name changes, adoptions, nonprofit corporation formation, and personal injury. I practice in many counties in South Central Nebraska, including Buffalo, Sherman, Kearney, Franklin, Harlan Furnas, Gosper, Dawson, Hall, Adams and Red Willow Counties. I am originally from the Black Hills of South Dakota. I enjoy playing the cello, drag racing with my family, reading, travelling, and spending time with my husband and pets.
