How I represent clients at Schwabe

I work with clients to resolve employment and business matters. By taking the time to understand the scope of their issues, I acquire the necessary perspective to represent my clients’ interests and guide them through complicated situations.

During law school, I gained valuable insights as a judicial extern at U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. I deepened my knowledge of appellate practice in a judicial externship at the Oregon Court of Appeals. I was also a summer associate at Schwabe, where I researched and wrote on legal issues that pertained to employment, tax, Native American, trusts and estates, and property matters.
