Bio
I collaborate with a diverse set of clients in the broad practice areas of employment/labor and business/corporate. Even if I’ve never encountered your particular legal issue before, I will put in the work to learn about the landscape of your industry and the parameters of the problem. Whether it’s forming a business, navigating a tricky employment complaint, or keeping your operation compliant, I meet my clients where they’re at with a dedicated optimism and a stubborn commitment to finding workable solutions.
Ultimately, I view myself as a connector of good people doing interesting things, and if I cannot help you with your legal needs, I’ll do my best to match you with someone who can.
My background in communications and public policy informs my approach to dynamic problem solving and client-empowered advocacy. As someone who takes the “counselor” part of my job seriously, I believe strongly in making the legal system more accessible; I do so, in part, through breaking down complex legal concepts and offering approachable, non-judgmental advice.
I also like to learn about my clients as people (or in the case of a business, the people making the magic happen) from the outset—not just their legal needs. I find this leads to a better understanding of each client’s vision for what they’re trying to build or thorny issue they’re trying to resolve.
What I love about the practice of law is that it allows me to tie all of these different experiences together in a job that demands continuous learning and evolution; it’s a career where staying stagnant is not an option.
Outside of work, you can probably find me at a fitness class, cooking and baking, helping my husband (Zach) with home DIY projects, planning our next travel adventure, and spoiling our two cats—Matcha and Mochi.
