I was born and raised in St. Louis where I went to highschool at St. Joe.  I grew up playing lots of sports, especially swimming and golf.  After getting my undergraduate degrees in English and Psychology from DePaul University in Chicago, I came back to St. Louis for law school at St. Louis University School of Law.  While in law school, I volunteered to help foster children in their adoptions and helped get legislation passed to help end puppy mills in Missouri.  I continue to be very involved in Chi Omega, their philanthropy the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and their leadership training for young women.  The St. Louis Blues are my favorite team and I love going to their games.  I am currently working at my dream job as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County. GO BEARS!
