I
began my career in estate planning during my studies at Stanford Law
School, preparing wills, trusts, and probate filings as a law clerk in
a busy estate planning boutique. After graduating in 1997, I accepted a
position with McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen LLP (now Bingham
McCutchen LLP), a large Silicon Valley law firm, where I specialized in
commercial litigation, appeals, and hospital/medical staff law. I
remained with Bingham for eleven years before moving to Portland and
joining the Oregon State Bar in 2008. Since that time, I have returned
to my estate planning roots, focusing my practice on guiding
individuals and families through the estate planning and probate
process.. I live in northeast Portland with my husband, two children, one
fiesty cat, one fish, and one frog. 
In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my family, running, cooking,
photography, and best of all, reading a good book.
