My Approach
I chose to pursue a career as a family law attorney because I value the personal nature of the work. Building relationships with clients and earning their trust is a priority for me. I will be an attorney who listens to my clients and advocates for them with diligence and passion.
As a new attorney, I am committed to continued learning and growth. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from experienced attorneys while developing my own approach to family law and building a practice centered around the needs of my clients.
Background
Before moving to Seattle, I lived in the suburbs of Chicago for most of my life. I attended the University of Dayton, where I found a passion for advocacy and social justice work. After college, I spent a year working at a nonprofit organization as a victim advocate for survivors of sexual violence. Supporting and advocating for clients during one of the most difficult points in their lives had a lasting impact on me and inspired my decision to go to law school.
That experience also shaped my drive to practice family law. My desire in practicing law is to build meaningful relationships with clients, advocate for their interests, and help them navigate challenging and deeply personal circumstances.
About Me
Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, whether that means paddle boarding, traveling, or adventuring with my one-year-old pit-bull mix, Mia. Although I have lived in Seattle for over three years, much of that time was spent studying, so I look forward to continuing to explore Seattle. I love trying new restaurants and hope to learn to play pickleball in my free time!
During gloomy Seattle winters, you can usually find me watching reality TV or doing a puzzle. I am attempting to become a skier, but that is still a work in progress.
