Personal Note
I’ve been drawn to the area of law because it is ever-changing and affords me challenge, diversity and most importantly, meaning. I really care about my clients and ensuring that I deliver quality and zealous representation.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, running, hiking and biking. I have enjoyed serving in roles such as Big Sister, volunteer ESL tutor and legal aid clinics.
