Leah’s Biography

I grew up in Flandreau, South Dakota and graduated from Flandreau High School. After graduation from high school, I worked a few odd jobs before attending Mitchell Technical Institute as a non-traditional student. Upon graduation from Mitchell Tech, I started working in a small general practice law firm in Mitchell. I was with this firm for 11 years before relocating to Des Moines, Iowa, with my husband and two children. Once we settled in, I began working at mid-sized law firm in Des Moines specializing in civil litigation in the area of professional negligence defense. I was with this firm for 21 years when we decided to move back home to South Dakota to be near family.

In my downtime, I enjoy camping, crafting, and spending time with my family.
