Q: Why did you choose to become an attorney?

A: The thought of becoming an attorney never crossed my mind until my junior year of my undergraduate education. I knew I wanted a job that presented new challenges every day and where I could assist people in fulfilling their goals.

I met with a few transactional attorneys in Fargo and learned more about what they do on a daily basis. It was after speaking with the attorneys that I knew I wanted to take on the challenges of law school.

My decision was confirmed when I served as a clerk for the East Central Judicial District, following in the footsteps of Tatum, Tracy and Sara. When I was working as a law clerk for the 8 East Central judges, I realized that becoming an attorney was exactly what I wanted to do.

Q: What is your educational background?

A. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Banking and Financial Economics from the University of North Dakota and my J.D. from UND School of Law.

Q: Why did you choose to join the Kennelly O’Keeffe Team?

A: I chose to join O’Keeffe O’Brien Lyson Foss because the team is full of high energy attorneys who enjoy their jobs.

Q: What is your favorite area of law and why?

A: My favorite area of the law is corporations and LLCs. I really enjoy working with clients who are trying to set up their own company and then watching that business grow and have a positive impact on the area.

Q: What is the best part about your job?

A: My favorite part of the job is working with awesome attorneys and an excellent support team. They all make coming to work every morning easy.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?

A: In my spare time I enjoy relaxing at the family lake cabin, golfing, snowmobiling, and cheering on the Sioux hockey team.
