I am a new admittee to the Utah bar as of May 19, 2014, eager to put my years of education in law and business in practice in a career. I graduated with a JD/MBA degree from the University of Akron. For law school, I was in the top 15% of my graduating class and graduated cum laude. My areas of interest are business law, corporate law, securities, and compliance.I have experience in both a business and a legal setting. In the summer of 2013, I worked as a summer associate for the Law Offices of David Leneghan. This experience allowed me to expand my legal writing experience as I helped write a 60 page appellate brief in a case that was worth over $1 million. In the summer of 2011, I had the opportunity to work on contracts and lease extensions for the University of Akron Research Foundation. In the summer of 2012 I got some business research and writing experience as a summer fellow for The Entrepreneur's EDGE. For this position, I conducted market research on a new business idea in the trucking industry, wrote a feasibility analysis and created a pricing model, and presented findings to the company and to the public.
