Emily grew up in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, before attending the University of Oregon. She graduated in three years with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science with honors.

After graduating from the University of Oregon, Emily took a year off from school. She worked in a Family Law Facilitator office in her local county courthouse, where she earned invaluable experience assisting low-income individuals with divorce, child custody matters, and restraining orders.

Emily then loaded up a U-Haul and moved south to Texas to attend Baylor Law School. At Baylor Law, Emily became a National Member of the Order of the Barristers and a Member of the Baylor Law School Society of the Barristers. She also traveled to Virginia to compete in the Regent Constitutional Law Moot Court Competition. Emily spent both of her summers of law school clerking for Turner McDowell Rowan. Emily graduated Cum Laude from Baylor Law in 2021. Emily is a member of the Dallas Bar Association (DBA), Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL), Family Law Section of the DBA, and the American Bar Association.

Emily lives in Richardson with her husband and daughter and is an active member of her community. She is a fiercely passionate advocate for her clients. As a child of divorce, Emily understands the immense impact that each family law case has on not only the parties, but also their children, family, and friends. Emily strives to not only obtain the best outcome for her clients, but also to counsel her clients through what is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult time in their life.

Emily specializes in complex divorce cases, child custody matters, enforcements, protective orders, restraining orders, and the like. She thrives in the courtroom, litigating, whether it is at a temporary orders hearing or a final trial. However, she has found that for many clients, reaching a settlement outside of the courtroom is often best, both financially and for the future of their co-parenting relationship.
