History. I started my career in law working for the state in juvenile dependency proceedings that often resulted in the termination of parental rights. Through this
experience, I developed a deep sense of appreciation for the family unit.
Education. I graduated with a BA in Politics from Willamette University. I attended law school at Willamette University College of Law where I earned my jurisdoctorate.
Roots. I am a life long resident of Salem, Oregon and a graduate of McNary High School.
Community. I volunteer and serve to assist the Executive Director of POLE Gems, a local non-profit committed to serving men and women caught in the sex industry. I also am a trained domestic and sexual assault advocate.
