Background & Experience
Background
I am a transplant to the community of Woodbury but have deep roots in Minnesota. My mother was born and raised in St. Paul and we have family ties to Henry Hastings Sibley – the first governor of Minnesota. I attended high school in Vermont, college in Maine and law school in Boston. I worked full-time while in law school at two different investment management companies. I spent a semester at William Mitchell (now Mitchell Hamline) before moving here permanently in 2009. My husband, Matthew Benson, and I chose Woodbury to raise our family and are so grateful for the decision.
I met my business and law partner in 2009 and we started our firm, Sykora & Santini, in 2010. We are transactional attorneys focusing on estate planning, estate administration and general business law.
I have two energetic boys who inspire me each day to advocate for their futures and the future of our community here in Woodbury. For more information on my background, please take a moment to watch this video.
