Advocate. Researcher. Teacher.

I work as a plaintiff’s trial attorney and live in St. Paul, Minnesota. I went to law school in Colorado, started my legal career in New Mexico, and now call Minnesota home.

I spent my time at law school competing in and coaching teams for mock trial tournaments; to me, there is no greater sport. My family has two law dogs: Fiona and Lulu.

I worked for the New Mexico Department of Justice as an Assistant Attorney General in the Consumer Protection Bureau. I loved the work and my coworkers. I took advantage of the opportunity to learn from the best lawyers and experts in the country. I investigated businesses and people for unfair and deceptive practices and returned money to defrauded New Mexicans. I learned about the legislative process. I conducted research and advised legislators on potential consumer protection and state constitutional legal issues.

And then an opportunity presented itself so I passed on my parens patriae duty and moved into private practice.

I believe in advocacy. I believe that every person has dignity and people who are harmed by negligence deserve an advocate. I worked at a specialized litigation firm in Santa Fe helping clients harmed by fires, harmed by trucks on the interstate, trucks on local roads, and trucks in parking lots. I love helping my clients.

I love music. I studied classical guitar and worked in marketing and development for an opera festival in the rolling hills of Rappahannock County Virginia. I learned a great deal about life and music from Lorin Maazel and went on to teach English in Spain. I came back to the US and guided tourists down rivers and up mountains in Montana and Idaho. I even worked as a land man.

I am an interested advocate. I am interested in helping my clients and in improving their lives. I am interested in Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence research. I am interested in the ethics and philosophical implications of LLMs. I strive to understand the latest technology to better serve my clients.
