I worked at Wiscarson Law as an Associate Attorney from January to November, 2011. I have been involved in disability advocacy in various capacities for a number of years, beginning at a nonprofit where I administered contracts with several vocational rehabilitation centers. While attending law school at Howard University School of Law, I also clerked at the National Disability Rights Network, where I realized the pressing need for more advocates for parents of children with special needs. I have a tremendous passion for special education, and also have interest in the practice areas of guardianship, social security, and higher education. I am licensed in the State of Oregon.
Originally from Arlington, Virginia, I moved to Portland immediately after graduating from law school, realizing a dream of mine that began after a series of trips taken throughout the State.
When I am not working, I enjoy hiking, skiing, and watching sports along with a cold Portland microbrew.
