Born and raised in Western New York, I grew up around the restaurant business. My great-grandparents were the owners and operators of the nationally renowned Cloisters Restaurant located on Delaware Avenue in Downtown Buffalo, New York. After graduating from Nardin High School, I received by Bachelor of Arts degree from Canisius College, graduating cum laude in 1991. After working as a litigation paralegal for three years at the law firm Phillips Lyle, I decided to enter law school and obtain a law degree. I successfully completed by legal education at City of Buffalo Law School, graduating in 1998. 

For the past 8 years I have engaged in a general practice of law at Cantor, Lukasik, Dolce & Panepinto, specializing in the handling of real estate, estate law and family court matters. As a mother and practicing attorney I understand the considerable pressures faced by working families in today’s society. It brings me great pleasure to assist working people with their commonly faced legal issues such as buying a home and drafting Wills and matrimonial agreements.
