Tiera was born and raised in Oklahoma but left shortly after starting college, heading south for warmer weather. In 2012, she graduated college at the Island University of Texas A&M Corpus Christi and that same year traveled up north to attend law school at Western Michigan University – Cooley. After experiencing a few Michigan winters, Tiera ultimately moved down to Tampa with her Floridian husband to finish her degree. Upon graduating, Tiera worked for a small litigation firm handling consumer defense matters. Since 2015, Tiera has focused her practice in all areas of estate planning, trust and estate administration, guardianship, and estate and trust litigation.
Tiera, her husband, and their five children (yes, we said five!) currently live in St. Augustine where they spend a majority of their time exploring parks and going to the beach.
