I have been practicing law since May, 2012 and have practiced in a variety of areas, with an emphasis on domestic litigation, employment law, and immigration.  I have also worked in estate planning, administrative law, federal and state workers compensation, bankruptcy, Social Security, and personal injury.  I have experience in both the Utah Court of Appeals and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah. Before joining Kaufman Nichols Olds & Kaufman in March 2015, I was an associate attorney at Stevenson & Smith, P.C., located in South Ogden.

I graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law one semester early in December 2011. While attending law school, I was a law clerk at the Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska Immigration Program, where I gained a wealth of knowledge in immigration law.  I was also a participant in a senior seminar which focused on refugee and asylum law.  During my third year of law school, I worked as a student attorney at the University of Nebraska’s civil legal clinic where I handled cases in the areas of domestic law, bankruptcy, contract law, and property law.

Before law school, I attended Weber State University, where I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in English.  I worked in technical writing, editing, and graphic design for five years after college, while also working as a sports correspondent for the Ogden Standard-Examiner.

As an Ogden native, I enjoy skiing and snowboarding, as well as watching college football and basketball. I play the piano, enjoy reading, and love spending time with my nephews.
