I started at the firm as a receptionist in June of 2018, with plans to concurrently complete my degree program at Whatcom Community College. I completed my Associate of Science in Paralegal Studies at Whatcom Community College, and a direct transfer degree, graduating with honors in June of 2020, and was promoted to a legal assistant position. After graduating from Whatcom, I transferred to Western Washington University to study sociology and political science, graduating in June of 2023. During my time at Western, I was a member of the International Sociology Honor Society. I currently work as a paralegal, and look forward to what the future holds. I have been very fortunate to work with and learn from a group of such passionate and ethical legal professionals.
I am a member of the Washington State Association for Justice Eagle Legal Staff Section (WSAJ), and during my time at Whatcom Community College, I volunteered at Law Advocates in the Street Law program, which provides free legal assistance to those in need.
I come from a long line of Whatcom County natives. I graduated from Ferndale High School, as did my parents. Outside of work, you can find me mountain biking, camping, hiking, paddle boarding, hunting and fishing. I’m always looking for new adventures, recipes and books.
