I'll be candid, I’m not like most of the attorneys you see on television. I value having a reputation for honesty and integrity, and I wholeheartedly care about achieving the best possible outcome for my clients.. For generations, our family has passed down a respect for hard work and doing the right thing. As a child in Kennewick, Washington, I saw my parents work every day at growing their small business and striving to give back to the community. Although I was raised in a small town in eastern Washington, I’ve lived and worked in the greater Seattle area for the past two decades. I attended the University of Washington and obtained my Juris Doctor from Seattle University.  We're a family of Washington and for Washington, on both sides of the mountain.. As far as my work goes, I know how the medical and auto insurance industries operate from top to bottom, inside and out, because I worked for them for several years. As an insurance adjuster, I was trained in multiple specialties and sent all over the United States to handle catastrophic claims. I saw firsthand how the system took advantage of the people involved in these accidents who didn’t fully understand their rights. You see, adjusters often intentionally withhold crucial information from policy holders in an effort to avoid issuing benefits they’re entitled to. In turn, adjusters are then bonused based on how much money they are able to save the company.. So I switched sides to level the playing field. I now work tirelessly to ensure my clients know more than the insurance companies, instead of the other way around. With my inside experience, I make sure that our clients understand and take full advantage of the benefits available from their layers of insurance policies, their injuries are fully diagnosed, their medical bills get paid, and that we secure their best possible future. Unlike most attorneys, I’m easily reachable by my clients and eager to discuss their questions and concerns. Nothing makes me happier or brings me more satisfaction than knowing I’ve done my part to help someone through a dark time.. When I’m not at work, you can often find me and my husband with our two energetic boys, doing our best to stay on the Mario Kart race track and give them a run for their money. I also love going for walks (no matter the PNW weather), traveling, learning new languages, and trying new foods!
