"KJ" Granville has had a wide variety of living, travel, and employment experience.

Kari came to Arizona on an archery scholarship with Arizona State University. A two-time All-American, she left school to care for a family member, after which she traveled the world as a live stage production manager and lighting technician. She returned to finish her Bachelor of Science in Political Science at ASU in 2000. KJ received her juris doctorate from ASU in May of 2004 with the Dean's Award of Recognition, a Certificate in Law, Science, and Technology: Intellectual Property, and the Highest Pro Bono Distinction.

After graduation, KJ worked as a member of the ASU College of Law's administrative staff, building from her previous local knowledge and institutional memory to develop stronger relationships between the law students and the community and tackling the practical execution of coordinating two new LL.M. and one new M.L.S. degree programs.

Prior to the creation of Granville Law, PLLC, Kari learned the legal ropes from notable lawyers such as Joan Jakel (business formation and small business solutions) and Adrian Fontes (criminal defense and public advocacy). Both individuals helped to teach her the skills of drafting, negotiation, and litigation. KJ has an enviable trial success record and has served as a Pro Tempore Justice of the Peace.

Currently, in her spare time, KJ enjoys dog agility training and competition. In her younger years, Kari competed at the elite level in the sport of archery. She has been a member of the USA Archery Team and has represented the US at several World Championship events. Kari has been named twice as USA Archery's "Shenk Award" winner (highest combined score from US Indoor, Field, and Target Nationals). KJ also coached the ASU archery team, is a former Chair of the USA Archery Board of Justice, is a former Chair of the College Archery Program of USA Archery, and has been a member of the USA Archery - Arizona Board of Directors.
