About
Kara first joined the TJB team as a law clerk. During her clerkship, Kara had the opportunity to witness the TJB trial team in action and assist with projects at the firm. From these experiences, Kara discovered a new passion for litigation and advocating for the rights of Iowa employees. After completing her clerkship, Kara happily rejoined the TJB team as an attorney. In that role, Kara gets to live out her passion everyday by working to deliver justice for her clients and protecting Iowa employees from unlawful treatment. Kara loves listening to clients’ stories, collaborating with her team to identify unique solutions, and fighting tirelessly to get clients a just result.
Prior to joining the firm as an attorney, Kara graduated from Drake University Law School. While there, she served on the editorial board for the Drake Law Review, represented clients as a student attorney in the Criminal Defense Clinic, and worked as an Evidence Research Assistant. Kara gained valuable skills from her clinic and research experience that help her advocate for clients and deliver favorable outcomes. Before law school, Kara graduated from Simpson College with a degree in Criminal Justice. Kara has been recognized by her peers for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America.
In her free time, Kara enjoys lounging outside with a good book, going for walks, and catching up on new shows and movies (particularly in the horror genre). Kara is always up for traveling and loves going to concerts, road tripping with friends, and visiting family in northern Iowa.
