I grew up on a farm in rural Northeast Louisiana, near the Mississippi River, riding 4-wheelers and tractors, hunting, fishing, and working in both my family's General Store (established in 1934) and cotton gin, located in Swampers, Louisiana. As you can imagine, Long Island is a far different environment, but I still try to pass along those hometown vibes to each and every person that I meet.

​

I attended Louisiana Tech University and graduated from The University of Louisiana - Monroe, earning a Bachelor's degree in French, with a focus in International Business. In the years following graduation, I worked in the insurance industry as an agent and later as an insurance adjuster (mainly as a catastrophe adjuster, working after large storms). After Superstorm Sandy, I was contracted by The State of New York to assess damage to homes. It was during this time, while assessing damage and living in Long Beach, that I met my husband, Chris, an NYPD Officer at the time (now a retired Detective).

​

Upon deciding to stay "up North" with the love of my life, I began attending Touro Law. During my first year of Law School, Chris and I were married. In my second year, we had our first son. In addition to building a family, I participated in and held leadership roles in numerous clubs and organizations. After graduating from law school, I began working in the area of real estate law, and it has become a labor of love.

​

My husband and I now have two sons (Grayson and Duke) and live in Lindenhurst ("Lindy"). I am a member of the Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce and am delighted by all the excitement, success and growth in my "new small town".  

​

In addition to my participation in the Lindenhurst Chamber, I am also a member of the New York State, Suffolk, Nassau, and New York City Bar Associations. I serve on the Domestic Violence Committee for the New York City Bar Association and the Real Property Committee for the Suffolk County Bar Association.
