Currently, I am the Ex-Officio of the Chicago Bar Association’s Probate Practice Committee where I served two years as Chair. I am also the Ex-Offico of the Illinois State Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division, a member of the Trusts & Estates Council, and starting my third term as a member of the General Assembly after taking the mandatory one year off between terms. I serve as a member of the Illinois State Bar Association’s mentor program and I am a speaker in the area of probate and trusts and estates. In addition to my passion for law, I work with professional and civic organizations. I have worked with the Children’s Assistance Fund and the Illinois Bar Foundation chairing their annual holiday party which has grossed over during its ten year tenure.
