At the core of every injury case I handle is hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to helping others—values I learned at a young age.
Growing up, school was not easy for me. Despite my struggles, my mother, a teacher herself, never stopped believing in me. She fought to prove that I was capable of success in the classroom, and eventually, my hearing loss was diagnosed. With the help of my parents and dedicated teachers, I was able to find both success and enjoyment in education. This newfound confidence led me to academic success in high school, where I earned a full academic scholarship to college.
Beyond academics, service to others became a defining part of my life. Through my involvement with my family and Boy Scouts, I learned the importance of giving back. Earning my Eagle Scout award was a milestone that reinforced my belief in helping those in need. My family regularly prepared meals for the homeless, and these early experiences instilled in me a lifelong passion for serving others.
As I grew older, my greatest role model was my maternal grandfather, who practiced law for over 50 years. He found joy in helping people navigate difficult times, and his dedication to service inspired me to pursue a career in law.
When I graduated from law school, I knew I could never work for a firm that protected those who already had power. Instead, I chose plaintiff’s personal injury law—a career where I could fight for those who truly needed an advocate. I joined MacCloskey Kesler & Associates right out of law school and have spent my career helping injury victims overcome obstacles and rebuild their lives.
