I have focused my career advocating for plaintiffs in civil litigation because I enjoy making a real difference in people’s lives when they need it most. After graduating college, I worked in a law firm that represented individuals who had been catastrophically hurt because of someone else’s negligence. I saw the positive impact firsthand that holding those responsible had on plaintiffs’ lives and wellbeing. This experience drove me to go to law school and become a plaintiff’s lawyer.

What sets me apart is my knack for connecting with clients on a personal level. I’m a compassionate listener who understands that the legal process can be draining and I prioritize helping my clients pursue what is important to them. Litigation shouldn’t just about seeking justice; it should also be about finding mental and emotional closure. Mental health and wellbeing are often overlooked in the legal world, but I am striving to change this for the benefit of my clients and for the benefit of the practice of law.

That commitment carries into my work beyond individual cases. I serve on the Board of Governors for the Washington State Association for Justice and co-chair the Women of WSAJ section, where I focus on building community and supporting other women trial lawyers. I was honored to receive WSAJ’s Ready to Soar Award in 2024, which recognized my work advocating for clients with compassion and empathy, and my commitment to a fair justice system.
