I am an attorney in Portland, Oregon who is passionate about social justice issues. I have always advocated for the underdog, because I know that the law is not always fair or equal. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I worked on the front lines for causes I am passionate about, including animal welfare, free speech, justice for domestic abuse survivors, and consumer rights. I chose to become a lawyer because I believe that everyone deserves a voice in the legal system.
I take a hands-on approach and live my principles through volunteer work. I believe in empowering my community: I walk my talk. I am a proud member and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. I am extremely knowledgeable about organization and technology, with experience as a project manager.
I earned my degree at the University of Oregon School of Law. I also hold a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice and a B.A. in English Literature with a minor in Women’s Studies. I was raised in Brooklyn and made Portland home in 2009. My focus is helping those who need to make big changes and move forward. When I am not working, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, playing music, and spoiling my two cats.
