Kathleen is an Associate in Bricker Graydon’s Litigation Group, where she brings a strong foundation in legal writing and client support. Her background includes valuable experience as a Production Editor for the Kentucky Law Journal and an externship with Kentucky Supreme Court Chief Justice Laurance B. VanMeter (Ret.). While at the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law, Kathleen served on the Women’s Law Caucus Executive Board, was President of the American Constitution Society, and dedicated her time to assisting flood relief victims in Eastern Kentucky.

Born and raised in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, some of Kathleen’s favorite work experience is her time spent at the University of Kentucky Legal Clinic, where she helped clients expunge their criminal records, legally change their names, and file civil lawsuits in Fayette County. Other than her legal background, Kathleen will tell you that the four years she worked as a waitress taught her how to multi-task in addition to the importance of kindness and resilience.
