Personal Note

I always say that I “fell into workers’ compensation” in 2008 when the economy tanked. The truth is, I have worked in the work comp industry for most of my adult life. I was a Legal Secretary out of college, a Paralegal and Hearing Rep during law school, and an attorney after law school. I was fortunate enough to be brought on by Employer Defense Group, LLP and I am looking forward to growing with the firm and our clients.
