Bio

• I joined the AGO in February 2018 and assigned to the Environmental and Agricultural Unit within the Governmental Affairs (GA) Section. I represent state agencies in various types of civil and administrative actions. But spend most of time representing the Departments of Natural Resources, Agricultural, and Public Safety.

  In June of 2020, I was detached to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri as a Special United States Attorney in support of the Missouri AG’s Safer Street Initiative, US DOJ Project Safe Neighborhoods, Operation Legend, and various other federal strike forces, prosecuting violent crimes.

  Prior to joining the office, I was an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney with the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. After completing my academic work for my masters in environmental law, I was selected to clerk for the Deputy Director of Criminal Enforcement-General Counsel’s Office of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s, Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics, and Training in Washington D.C..
