I focus my practice on helping people with personal injury, motor vehicle, injury, consumer and insurance claims.
I was born and raised in Grants Pass, Oregon. I practice with Scott Kocher and paralegal Lisa Butler at Forum Law Group LLC in Portland.
I represent pro bono clients with restraining order hearings through the Domestic Violence Project of Legal Aid. I also participates in the Multnomah Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section’s Professional Development and Education Committee.
I am an avid runner, and I'm usually training for a race so that I can feel better about regularly discovering and re-discovering Portland’s food and drink.
I also like cramming books on the bus to work, hanging out with my little brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters and spending time with the dog and kitten.
