Biography
I am originally from Amarillo, Texas, but moved to Albuquerque in 1989. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from UNM School of Law in 2019. Prior to attending law school, I graduated from Adams State University with a BSBA in finance. Between undergrad and law school, I had the privilege of staying home with our three children while Justin practiced law.
After watching Justin change the lives of countless injured workers for a number of years, I was inspired to study law so that I could effect change in the same way. While in law school, I received a clerkship at the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico. I also worked in the UNM law clinic where I practiced Indian Law, focusing on civil rights violations and consumer law. I received the "Outstanding Clinical Student Award" from The Clinical Legal Education Association in part due to a successful outcome from a wrongful conviction case, as well as for my work exposing unfair trade practices within the rent-to-own industry.
I have worked with Justin since 2014 as CFO for Pizzonia Law. Over those years, Justin taught me what it means to practice law aggressively, but with compassion and integrity. I look forward to helping clients change their lives for the better, in the same way Justin has helped so many since 2009.
