I am a Southern Oregon native and love the community I work with and for. I graduated from Willamette University College of Law and Atkinson Graduate School of Management in 2016 with a dual degree, earning my JD and MBA. I have a background in business and customer service, particularly in real estate and the construction industry. I spent twelve years in the private sector prior to attending graduate school.

During law school, I had an opportunity to work as a court-certified law clerk for a busy family law firm. There I was able to take on my own cases under the supervision of my attorney and I found the practice area exciting, interesting, and challenging. 

I currently focus exclusively on Family Law including: dissolution of marriage, registered and unregistered domestic partnership, custody and parenting, restraining and stalking orders, step-parent adoption, and minor guardianships.

The overarching piece to my practice - regardless of legal issue - is that I am interested in helping people walk through whatever crisis they are facing with effective advocacy. I am motivated to help people meet in the middle as much as possible. Each person has something to gain and lose in any transaction. It's part of my job to fully explain that to my clients.

I strive to always be honest, thorough, and conduct myself with integrity. It is important that my clients know that when they ask me a question, they will always receive an honest answer...even if it is not one they will like.
