I grew up in … Shelton, WA (mostly).
Before Law School I … had hopes and dreams … Bad jokes aside, I lived in Olympia and worked as a poker dealer.
What I find challenging about being a new/young lawyer is … the uncertainty of not knowing what I'm unaware of.
Some helpful advice received from a more experienced lawyer … always keep an emergency blazer nearby.
If I wasn ’ t an attorney, I ’ d be … a dentist.
I enjoy reading … Voltairine de Cleyre, Angela Davis, and a bit of H.P. Lovecraft to keep things weird.
The most memorable trip I ever took was … honestly? I don ’ t travel much so I suppose the answer is Disneyland.
My wellness routine includes … playing Pokémon, caring for my farm in Stardew Valley, and listening to the Werewolf Ambulance podcast.
Nobody would ever suspect that … collect teacups.
My favorite song right now is … “ Duck Tales ” cover by Suburban Legends.
I am happiest when … it rains.
Three favorite places in Thurston County are … Tumwater Falls, Old School Pizzeria, Headless Mumby.
What you like about being a part of the TCBA … I like that the TCBA provides CLEs and offers me the ability to build meaningful connections with my community.
About me: I grew up all over South Sound Washington and have always been passionate about justice and advocacy. My journey to becoming an attorney began at a young age, inspired by the beauty of our historic courthouses and the captivating presence of attorneys in suits. While I have built a fulfilling career in family law, outside of work, I enjoy hockey, German Expressionist films, and anything Disney. These simple pleasures keep me grounded and remind me that even attorneys need to have some fun.
