I am an Associate Attorney and member of Shumaker's Litigation and Disputes Service Lines, where I focus on insurance recovery. I regularly assist policyholders in complex recovery efforts under property, commercial liability, and business interruption policies among others, from the inception of the claim through final settlement.Prior to joining Shumaker, I worked at a law firm as part of an Insurance Recovery Practice Group to compel insurers to honor their coverage obligations.In addition, I have experience assisting both businesses and individuals in a variety of different contractual disputes, including employment contracts, residential construction, landlord/tenant agreements, and non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. I have assisted in litigating these and other matters from intake through appeal in both state and federal courts, as well as various alternative-dispute forums.While attending The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, I worked as a Civil Division Clerk for the Columbus City Attorney, Zach Klein. In addition, I was the Staff Editor for the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law and was a Moot Court competition participant who qualified for the Texas Young Lawyers Association National Championship. During law school, I volunteered my time as a mock trial coach for The Ohio University undergraduate team. Upon graduation, I was named a member of The Order of the Barristers for demonstrating exceptional skill in trial advocacy.Prior to law school, I graduated magna cum laude and obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and Psychology from The Ohio State University, where I also minored in Economics. I was a Captain and Vice President of the mock trial team and received the All-American Award. During this time, I was a Policy Page for the Ohio House of Representatives.Dedicated to helping others in the study of law, I serve as a consultant for The Ohio State University mock trial team and coach the Jackson High School mock trial team.
