I grew up in … Yakima, WA.
Before Law School I... took a gap year and volunteered in Argentina for 6 months.
What I find challenging about being a new/young lawyer is … not having experience to fall back on and having to ask a ton of questions.
Some helpful advice received from a more experienced lawyer …. Is to always take the high road. You won ’ t always want to, but it will be beneficial in the long run.
The most memorable trip I ever took was … going to Guatemala for a month to teach English to Maya children at a school in Tecpán.
My wellness routine includes... pickleball. I ’ m addicted.
Nobody would ever suspect that I … am happiest when the Huskies beat Oregon.
My favorite song right now is... Fire Away by Chris Stapleton.
Three favorite places in Thurston County are... 23 Kitchens (a pickleball/restaurant facility), Woodard Bay, and Boston Harbor.
What you like about being a part of the TCBA … The sense of community. It is actually a fairly small group and it ’ s nice to see the same faces at a lot of the events.
