She also served as President of the Student Athlete Advisory Council, was nominated for NCAA Women of the Year, and was named an All-American Scholar Athlete.

“Employers don’t want to be in court. As a litigator, my goal is to efficiently resolve claims and prevent disputes from arising in the first place.”

"In college, I was a Division I softball pitcher in the Big Sky Conference. It taught me so many things that I bring to the practice of law—operating in a fast-paced environment, competition, sportsmanship, and attention to detail.”
