Malea is an attorney and CPA certified in both Colorado and California. She founded MMK Law in 2019, with the intent to provide legal and financial advice with a focus on big-picture, comprehensive counsel.

Prior to her career in law, Malea worked in public accounting in Los Angeles at Rose, Snyder, and Jacobs LLP and later at Moss Adams LLP. She specialized in providing services in various industries, including manufacture and resale, real estate, agriculture, investment, restaurant, and professional services. She has close experience with private foundations, estates and trusts, and IRS audits and disputes. She also worked passionately with a number of public charities.

Outside of the legal sphere, Malea is also a professional horse trainer, and worked at racetracks, summer camps, and private facilities at locations in New York, Florida, and California between 2003-2007. Now, she takes every opportunity to enjoy being outdoors and spends her free time long-distance backpacking, practicing botanical illustration, dancing, and running.

Katie grew up in the Mojave Desert in a family with strong ties to agriculture. As a teen, she showed sheep through the local 4-H group. She later graduated with honors from community college with fields of study in paralegal, business, and administration of justice.

As a mom, she dove into volunteer work with school nonprofits, eventually establishing them as their own independent nonprofit organizations. Rediscovering her love of providing help and solutions to others in need, she came to work for MMK Law, PC.

When not bookkeeping or researching, Katie enjoys spending time with her son, husband, and two dogs, and especially enjoys watching desert sunsets in her backyard.
