My professional life....

Heather was the recipient of the following law school awards: the Dean's Award for Outstanding Scholarship, Leadership and Contributions; the Dean's Excellence Merit Scholarship Award; the Susan Gilles Women's Law Association Scholarship; and the Judge Richard B. Metcalf Merit Scholarship for achievements in probate law. During law school Heather made the Dean's list for 5 semesters, and received the CALI award for the highest grade in Contracts II, Professional Responsibility, Legal Drafting and Trial Advocacy.

A little about my personal life...
Heather was born and raised in urban Ohio. She graduated from Kent State University, where she met her husband, Todd (born and raised in rural Ohio). Todd and Heather have been married for 25. After college, Todd and Heather spent 6 years living and working in NYC, before returning to Ohio to begin their family.
They have 2 amazing "adult" children and extended family throughout Ohio.
Heather enjoys walking into the city with Todd, reading novels, vintage fashion, good food and hosting friends!
