I am an active member of the Oregon State Bar Association, the Multnomah Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, and a Guardian member of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.  I am also admitted to the United States District Court for the District of Oregon and have tried several cases to succesful verdict in both state and federal court.  I support several local organizations and charities including the Oregon Humane Society, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Dress for Success Oregon and am currently a PTA co-president at my children's elementary school where we focus on fostering a sense of community belonging.  Along with my husband and two young children, I enjoy camping and hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest as well as spending time relaxing by gardening in the yard at home or getting creative in the kitchen.  Most recently I have found joy in helping coach my son's little league baseball team and love watching both kids play sports.  Prior to joining Pickett Dummigan Weingart LLP, I worked as a judicial clerk successively to two judges in Multnomah County, the Honorable Ronald E. Cinniger and the Honorable Stephen K. Bushong, during which experiences I learned a great deal about the art of trial practice and effective case presentation before a jury.  I am delighted to work with the great attorneys at Pickett Dummigan Weingart LLP where we actively pursue justice for injured people and their families.  I feel passionate about fighting for my clients and am persistent in finding the way to the best possible outcome in a difficult situation.
