She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies, Criminology Minor, and an ABA approved Paralegal Certificate, magna cum laude, from Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri.

She possesses excellent communication skills with experience in public speaking, negotiation, and mediation. Caitlyn is a community leader. She was selected to attend the Global Student Leadership Summit in Vienna, Austria.

Following her time at Webster, Caitlyn was fortunate to clerk with a judge and other attorneys where she gleaned the knowledge, skills, and a love for the law that drove her to law school. Caitlyn went on to attend Southern Illinois University School of Law, earning her law degree and taking classes focused on Real Estate Law and Mediation.
Caitlyn resides in Jefferson County with her dog, Bella. She enjoys coaching volleyball, watching re-runs of the Carol Burnett Show, reading, and spending time with her family. Caitlyn is committed to her legal career and looks forward to working with others.
