For nearly 15 years, my practice has focused on workplace law advice and litigation, including the defense of sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination lawsuits.  I am admitted to practice in the state courts of Washington, the United States District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Washington, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  I have handled both federal and state cases in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah.  Prior to opening my own firm, I worked two years for the Washington State Attorney General’s office in the Labor and Personnel Division and a total of eight years at the Seattle offices of two nationally renowned employment law firms.  I am a graduate of Seattle University School of Law, Tacoma (formerly known as the University of Puget Sound), and I earned a Bachelor of Arts at Scripps College, in International Relations.  I am also an alumna of University Preparatory Academy in Seattle.
