From Leland, Michigan, where I grew up, I went to college at Northern Michigan University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Political Science. After NMU, I went to law school at Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School’s Grand Rapids campus. While there I was a teacher’s assistant for Wills, Estates, and Trusts, I was on the Board of Editors for the WMU-Cooley Law Review, and I published a commentary about hydraulic fracturing in the WMU-Cooley Law Review. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in May of 2017 and passed the July 2017 Michigan Bar Exam.
