Professional Credentials

She is a graduate of Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law, where she served as the President of the Family Law Association and was named to the Dean’s List. Her passion for family law was sparked by her work as an attorney ad litem for children in the foster care system at the W.W. Caruth, Jr. Child Advocacy Clinic.
