After growing up in Oregon, I moved to the East Coast where I attended the University of Virginia and graduated with a cum laude distinction. After college, I spent six month in South America and had an internship with Habitat For Humanity in La Paz, Bolivia. Upon returning home, I graduated from University of Richmond School of Law with cum laude distinction. Upon moving to Washington in 2008, I had an internship with the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office and worked in the felony drug division. In 2009, I began working for the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office in Kennewick where I first handled misdemeanor cases in District Court but was quickly promoted to handle felony cases in Superior Court. In 2012, I began my own firm specializing in criminal defense. I have been admitted to the practice in the Federal Court for Eastern Washington and Idaho, have argued before the Court of Appeals and have handled hundreds of cases in District and Superior Court. In 2018 I was admitted to practice law in Oregon as well. I look forward to helping you at this important time in your life.
