Prior to joining MLA, Kirsten practiced law at Loeb & Herman, S.C., Wisconsin's premier family law boutique.

She also served as court-appointed guardian ad litem for children involved in custody disputes. Kirsten co-authored the System Book for Family Law, a two-volume practice guide published by the State Bar of Wisconsin. In addition, she has also authored several published articles exploring various stages of career development for attorneys.

Kirsten is currently a Wisconsin Make-A-Wish Foundation ''Wish-Granter''. While a practicing attorney, she volunteered her services at the Marquette University Legal Clinic and the Milwaukee County Family Law Clinic.
A rabid Red Sox and Patriots fan, she also enjoys running, boating, reading, watching all sports, exploring new restaurants/wine lists and traveling; especially to the Rhode Island waterfront to see her family and to Chile where her husband's extended family lives.
Kirsten is a member of the American and Wisconsin chapters of MENSA, however, she has never seen the qualifying test results and believes there may have been a scoring error in her favor. |
