I have spent the majority of my life in Albuquerque and Los Lunas, New Mexico.
I graduated from Los Lunas High School, and the University of New Mexico five years later. I earned dual degrees in criminology and psychology. I continued my education at the University of New Mexico School of Law and earned my juris doctorate there.
My first job as a licensed attorney was not a fancy one, but I learned how to be a lawyer in the court room. I successfully represented clients in general civil litigation matters.
I moved back to Albuquerque after a year in Deming because my son Oliver was on his way and my family is in Albuquerque.
Luckily, I landed a job in Albuquerque where I was able to work under some of the most experienced defense attorneys in New Mexico.
My time as a defense attorney provided me with a unique perspective on the handling, valuation, and defense of injury and insurance law matters.
I learned how major insurance companies determine how much they are willing to pay on a claim before they are forced to see the case through to a jury trial.
