During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an Honors Intern for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and served as a research assistant in multiple labs, including a social psychology lab and a health psychology lab. These experiences solidified my passion for both psychology and the law. After graduating, I entered the Legal Psychology PhD Program at Florida International University. As a graduate researcher, I examined a wide variety of issues at the intersection of psychology and the law including the use of interpreters during interrogations, how to improve investigative interviewing, cognitive biases in forensic science, the effects of alcohol in interrogation contexts, false memories, and cognitive biases in intelligence analysis.

I earned my PhD and MS in Legal Psychology from Florida International University. Prior to that, I received my BS in Psychology with a minor in Intelligence and Security Studies from Coastal Carolina University.

I’m known best for being a team player. I grew up in a big family (with five brothers) and playing team sports, so collaboration has always come naturally to me.

I love taking advantage of being by the ocean, whether it’s spear fishing, paddle boarding, or diving for lobsters. I also love playing pickleball and kickball on the weekends.

Trial consulting is the perfect intersection of psychology and the law—two areas I’ve dedicated much of my life to studying. I love that this role allows me to combine my passions and apply my expertise in a way that delivers meaningful, actionable insights to clients.

The people. It’s a privilege to work with a group that is so intelligent, hard-working, and most importantly very kind.

I bring a research-driven mindset to think through different ways to present information to help clients effectively deliver their intended message.

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin in a family that was very passionate about Wisconsin sports including the Badgers, Bucks, Brewers, and of course the Packers. Outside of watching sports, I spent a lot of time on the lake (when it wasn’t frozen over) and playing softball.

Every time a new case comes in and I get to dive in for the first time. There’s something so energizing about digging into the facts, identifying the key issues, and thinking through how jurors might respond.
