She moved to Youngstown in 2014 with her now-husband Pastor David Kamphuis of Martin Luther Lutheran Church, where the church graciously allows her to operate her office. She is originally from Birmingham, Alabama and moved to Ohio to attend law school and seminary at Capital University Law School and Trinity Lutheran Seminary where she received both her J.D. and her Master of Theological Studies in 2014. She passed the Ohio Bar Exam in July 2014 and was admitted to the Ohio State Bar in May 2015. She worked in food and retail until she decided to open her own firm in August 2016. Ms. Venable has always been interested in social advocacy work, which is why she decided to open her office on the Southside. That way, she can provide a legal voice for a community which otherwise does not have access to affordable attorneys.
