I was born and raised in Ellensburg, WA.  I attended Ellensburg High School and am an alumna from Central Washington University.  I received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a Law and Justice Major and a Prelaw/Paralegal Minor.  While attending CWU, I held an internship with Volunteer Legal Services.  I was employed with the Kittitas County Prosecutor's Office for 12 years, where I received my tutorship for the Law Clerk Program provided through the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA).  I was admitted to the WSBA in 2011.  I served as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for approximately 4 years and a Legal Intern for 3 years. I began my criminal defense practice in May of 2015.  I am motivated and ambitious and enjoy serving the legal needs of my clients.

I began my legal career defending adults and juveniles in Douglas and Chelan Counties prior to becoming a Prosecuting Attorney in Kittitas County.  After about three years as a Deputy Prosecuting attorney, I realized that I was a defense attorney at heart and I opened my own firm.. In addition to criminal defense, I handle civil matters, including matters involving general litigation, employment and immigration.
