“I live in Jenkintown, where I grew up, with my husband Andrew, our three children (Henry, Thomas, and Anne), and our very small and very old dog Jack. I own a small law firm, and I have practiced law for over sixteen years. My law firm exclusively works in the areas of Estate and Elder Law. I currently serve Montgomery County as the Solicitor to the Prothonotary, Noah Marlier.”

As an adult, I have served as an election worker and canvassed for Democratic candidates. After the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, I organized a Rally for Women’s Rights, drawing hundreds of attendees.
