I was born and raised in Central Florida, growing up in the small town of Fruitland Park. After graduating from Leesburg High School in Leesburg, Florida, I attended the University of Florida in Gainesville where I obtained my BA in History in 2008. I then went to Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law in Orlando, Florida, where I earned my Juris Doctorate in 2011. I was sworn in and admitted to practice by the Florida Bar in September of 2011.
