Biography
I grew up in a small town on the western board of Wisconsin and attended Cochrane-Fountain City Schools, where preschool through 12th grade is in the same, single-story building, and the lights on the tractors plowing the fields behind the football field were brighter than our field lights. I got involved in Buffalo-Pepin County Teen Court as a sophomore, which ignited my passion for criminal and family law.
Since I was 15, I knew I would go to University of Wisconsin Green Bay for my Bachelor’s Degree and to double major in History and Democracy and Justice studies, and minor in sociology, before continuing my education in law school. While at UWGB, I was active all over campus and my passion for the law and education continued to grow. I ended up graduating Summa Cum Laude and earned one of the coveted Chancellor’s Medallions.
After graduating UWGB, I attended the University of Wisconsin Law School, where I graduated with my Juris Doctor degree and earned Honors in the Family Law Concentration. The day after graduation, I moved back to the Green Bay area to the city that became my home. I was admitted to the Wisconsin Bar Association and now practice out of Petit and Dommershausen’s Green Bay office, which happens to be right down the street from my alma mater.
My passion for criminal defense and family law have led me to Petit and Dommershausen, S.C. Currently, my caseload mostly consists of criminal defense and child welfare cases, although I am also working in various areas of family law whenever I can.
