Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Kate brings empathy and dedication to her legal practice. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2021 and began her career practicing disability law, drawn to the field by a desire to help people navigate difficult and often overwhelming situations.
Building on that foundation, Kate transitioned to family law and represents clients in matters involving divorce, child custody, parenting time, and support, approaching each case with compassion, creativity, and a focus on practical solutions.
Kate enjoys the outdoors, watching films at Hollywood theater and her cats, Tony and Junior Soprano.
