In my career, I utilize my J.D. from UA Little Rock’s Bowen School of Law and my M.S. in school psychology from the University of Central Arkansas. My litigation practice includes municipal, property, contract and family law. My mediation practice focuses on the areas of family law and education. In 2021, I became a hearing officer for the Arkansas Department of Education.
