How I represent clients at Schwabe

I bring dedication and attention to detail in support of clients who face a broad range of challenges. As a member of Schwabe’s litigation team, I research legal issues, draft briefs and arguments, and help clients prepare for proceedings from depositions and hearings to mediations and trial.

Prior to joining Schwabe, I served as an extern for the Honorable Kristina Hellman at the Oregon Court of Appeals. I also began to hone my legal skills as a member of Schwabe’s Summer Associate program in 2023.
