She grew up in Mankato, Minnesota and attended college at Minnesota State University Mankato, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Elaine attended law school at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. She graduated and was admitted to the bar in 2007. Elaine enjoys working with clients to help them see a “light at the end of the tunnel” and to help them obtain relief from their financial struggles, which so often cause stress and anxiety. There is no better reward than when clients are able to convey that they feel better after having received some counsel with regard to their financial situation. In her spare time Elaine enjoys running and gardening. Elaine is a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association and the MSBA Bankruptcy Section and volunteers her time to the Volunteer Lawyers Network.
