How I represent clients at Schwabe
I focus my practice on counseling clients on general litigation matters. I am a skilled legal writer and fluently draft persuasive memoranda, briefs, summaries, and other legal documents and arguments. I am a creative problem solver and strategic thinker who is committed to assisting my clients to resolve their concerns.
While in law school, I served as a judicial extern for U.S. District Judge Michael J. McShane for the District of Oregon. I also served as a teaching assistant for the Law School Admissions Council PLUS Program, which is a partnership aimed at introducing historically underrepresented undergraduates to the law school admissions process and framework.
In the summer of 2019, I was at Schwabe as a Diversity Fellow and Summer Associate.
