Growing up in a diverse community, I saw firsthand how education shapes lives. With a mother who was a public school teacher, I learned early on the power of learning—and the importance of making sure every child has access to it. That passion led me to law school at Washington University in St. Louis, where I developed the skills to fight for families facing school-related legal challenges.
After years of practicing in school law and litigation, I founded The Rhoads Firm, LLC to focus on education law, student advocacy, and civil rights. Today, I serve families across Missouri and Illinois, holding schools accountable when they fail to protect students.
