- Helping entrepreneurs and companies protect their brands and products, allowing them to build businesses on a solid foundation through trademark registration.
- Trademark protection helps businesses focus on growth and seizing opportunities, not playing defense. I love to help my clients protect their IP so that they can move fast and serve their customers.

LEADERSHIP
I am a pro bono immigration attorney. I work with the Catholic Charities organization to help people who have come to the US enter the US immigration system legally, apply for immigration benefits, visas, and citizenship, and ultimately to contribute to their communities and build their life here.
THE REAL ME
I am an avid soccer fan and amateur rec league player. My club is Chelsea FC (2021 European champs!) and as a Wisconsin native, of course I’m also a Packer fan!
