I received a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.  Within Sociology I graduated with areas of concentration in "Crime and Delinquency" and "Politics and Social Movements."  I also graduated as a member of the International Sociological Honor Society.

After my undergraduate work, I attended law school at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California.  During law school I received the Jefferson Medal and Witkin Award for receiving the top grades in each of the following classes: criminal law, civil procedure, trial practice, California evidence, and legal writing. 

During law school I spent three years working full time for Mercury Insurance Company's in-house counsel defending against personal injury lawsuits.  I also worked for a bankruptcy law firm for more than a year. During my last year of law school In 2007, I received a Pro-Bono Honors Award for volunteering more than 300 hours of legal service to help defend indigent criminal defendants in multiple first-degree murder cases.

After graduating law school, I spent two years working for other attorneys before deciding to open my own practice in February of 2010.  As an attorney I have appeared in California State and Federal Courts thousands of times on multiple Criminal Defense, Bankruptcy, Personal Injury and Family Law cases.

I have been the solo counsel in multiple jury trials including life-in-prison felony cases. I have also argued multiple times before the court of appeals.

In November of 2009, I was invited to lecture at the University of San Diego in the Masters in Business and Executive Leadership MBA program. 

In 2011, I began working as an expert legal correspondent on radio programs on KCBQ 1170 AM and KPRZ 1210 AM.  I was interviewed in regards to multiple high profile cases, including the Casey Anthony Murder Trial and the Wal-Mart Class Action lawsuit.

In 2015, I accepted a position as in-house counsel for Mercury Insurance Company defending against personal injury lawsuits. I now use my knowledge and experience on the defense side to represent Plaintiffs in personal injury cases. Additionally, in 2017 I accepted a position as an adjuct professor of law teaching Legal Writing II at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
