A lifetime resident of Washington State, I grew up on a farm in Tonasket, Washington and moved to Seattle in 2003 to obtain my BFA cumme laude from Cornish College of the Arts. I received a Juris Doctor from Seattle University School of Law where I participated in the Social Justice Coalition and Moot Court. While attending Seattle University, I was a Research Assistant, a Rule 9 Intern, and a participant in the Community Development and Entrepreneurship Clinic. Prior to law school, I worked at Kroontje Law Office as a paralegal. After passing the July, 2011 Washington Bar Examination, I joined Kroontje Law Office as an Associate Attorney.  In March 2016, I founded the civil litigation firm, Ember Law PLLC.
