While I was born in Canada, I made my home in Texas as soon as I could. After graduating from high school north of Houston, I received an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts with honors from the University of Texas in English and Philosophy. I received my law degree from Baylor Law School, where I graduated magna cum laude. I discovered my passion for family law at Baylor, where I won the 2016-2017 Baylor Law School Family Law Advocacy Award from the Baylor University School of Law for excellence in family advocacy. During my time at Baylor, I was a Senior Editor on the Editorial Board of the Baylor Law Review, won Baylor Law School’s 2016 interscholastic Moot Court Competition, and received the award for Best Brief and Third Best Speaker in the 2017 American Bar Association National Appellate Advocacy Moot Court Competition. I also was a member of the Order of the Barrister’s, participated yearly in the Baylor Public Interest Legal Society’s Adoption Day Celebration, and was honored on the Dean’s List for all nine quarters of my attendance.

I obtained my license to practice law in Texas in 2018 and have been practicing family law since 2019 with Walters Gilbreath. I handle a variety of family law issues including divorce, child custody, adoptions, parental terminations, property division, business valuations, separate property tracing, and appellate cases. I am proud to be one of a small set of attorneys in the state who are Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

I am passionate about what I do, and I take pride in providing excellent legal representation without losing a sense of compassion for the unique challenges that each of my clients face. Every case, and every family, is a unique puzzle. It is a great privilege to use the skillset I have developed representing my clients in the courtroom to piece together the best solution possible. I take my responsibility to guide my clients through an intimidating and frightening legal system very seriously. I look forward to aiding you and your family in whatever challenges you may face so that you can confidently move your life forward.

Outside of work I enjoy serving my community as an active member of the Junior League of Austin. In my spare time, I enjoy reading fiction and spending time with my husband and our incredible daughter Kirby.
