With a background that blends legal knowledge and business operations, Katie plays a key role in ensuring the firm runs efficiently while delivering a clear, supportive experience for clients.

Katie began her career in the legal field after earning a four-year American Bar Association-approved degree in Paralegal Studies, with a minor in Marketing and Management. Over the years, she has worked in a variety of legal environments, including insurance defense and litigation, before transitioning into estate planning in 2013.
