I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Multinational Business from Florida State University in 1993. I went on to receive a Juris Doctorate Degree from St. Thomas University School of Law located in Miami, Florida in 1997. Later that year I was admitted to the Florida Bar (October 1, 1997) and shortly thereafter became an associate in the law office of Russell T. Sickmen and Associates where I began practicing law in the areas of Wills, Trusts, and Estates. I am a member of both the American Bar Association and the Palm Beach County Bar Association as well as a member of the Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar. I am also admitted and qualified to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
