I earned my Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in 2018, and was sworn into the Illinois Bar in 2019. While in law school, I served on the Executive Board of the Family Law Society, as well as the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, and was actively involved with John Marshall’s Domestic Violence Legal Clinic.
Prior to my adventures in law school, I graduated from Loyola University Chicago, earning a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology of Crime and Justice. I also earned and currently hold two certifications from the State of Illinois to work with and advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. As such, I started my career in social services, assisting and advocating for survivors of gender-based violence in matters from obtaining shelter and employment, to navigating the legal system. Ultimately, this influenced my decision to become an attorney, and focus my practice on all areas of family law. Before joining Reed, Centracchio & Associates, I also worked as a law clerk for two other Chicago-based family law firms. My prior social work experience, coupled with my education allows me to bring a unique perspective to my cases while prioritizing each client’s individualized goals.
On a more personal note, I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area, and now reside in the western suburbs with my husband and 3 rescue pets (and a rotation of foster dogs). Outside of the legal community, I enjoy volunteering for local animal rescues, spending time with my family, watching true-crime movies, attending concerts, events, and festivals, and reading.
