About MU Law
The MU School of Law offers a collegial environment, reinforced by a small student body and a low faculty-student ratio. The intimacy of this setting, coupled with reasonable cost, consistently high bar passage rates, a network of alumni around the globe and access to top scholars in the legal world, make MU Law one of the best values in the nation.

I was born in St. Louis and received my undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas. I am a huge fan of KU Basketball and Cardinals baseball. My senior year I interned at INTERPOL in Washington D.C. I run my own successful online business and work part time as a law clerk for a local law firm in Columbia. I am also a member of the Missouri Law Review, the Women's Law Association, and the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (student member).
