One of the most important rules I live by is to treat people with kindness and respect, and I want the people I am working with to know that I care. I take exceptional pride in what I do and strive to provide solid and reliable assistance with a listening ear. I’ve learned through my years of experience that clients appreciate my calm, helpful, and supportive demeanor while patiently explaining procedures. 

I appreciate our firm’s values of compassion and integrity that provide our clients with stability while navigating their personal circumstances. 

I am an avid soccer fan and player (just ask my teammates). When not on the pitch, you’ll find me outdoors, hiking, camping and biking with my crazy goldendoodles.

Our clients come to us in need of a friendly, understanding guide through a challenging time and complicated system. I approach my time with each client from a place of pragmatism and compassion. With over a decade of experience assisting family law attorneys in every aspect of the process, I understand the complexities of a case and the issues our clients face.

I am thrilled to be part of a group that truly values our clients as people. My coworkers help me grow as a person and professional each day. I am honored to be able to contribute to our firm’s goal of providing unparalleled service to those who have entrusted us with their future.

My family has happily embraced the concept of “slow living”. When not playing in the kitchen or garden, we can usually be found with a book and a cup of tea in our hands.

At some point in our lives, many of us will find ourselves in need of legal assistance. When that time comes, I hope that everyone has access to a clear, kind, and compassionate team to help guide them through the process. I try my best to be that kind of guide for our clients. As an estate planning paralegal, I'm honored to take part in helping people protect their loved ones and prepare for the future.

Here at Four Point Legal, I'm proud to be part of a team that puts teamwork and respect as part of its core values. I feel lucky to work with people who genuinely care about and trust one another, and who do their very best to serve our clients.

When I'm not working, you can usually find me reading, playing word games, or watching remarkably bad television.

Our clients come to us during one of the most challenging times in their lives.  It’s my goal to be a friendly voice, to hold their hand throughout each step of the process, and hopefully take away a bit of that fear and uncertainty.  

I joined this firm to be a part of a group who values hard work, lives with integrity and genuinely cares about others.  I have the highest respect for the people I work with and what they do. 

In my spare time you’ll find me watching Oregon Ducks football, escaping with a good book, enjoying the Portland craft beer scene, or spending time with my husband and our lovable dog.

Being involved in the legal system can be a daunting and intimidating experience for anyone, but this is especially true when it involves that which is most important to you - your family, financial security and having an overall sense of stability in life. Having been a family law legal assistant for over 25 years, I have walked many clients through the legal process, helping them navigate the uncertain path with empathy, kindness and skill.

The most important aspect of my job is using my knowledge and experience to collaborate with and support our attorneys to provide the best legal service and advocacy that our clients need and deserve in a difficult and tenuous time in their lives. I am honored to be working with some of the best attorneys in the business. They have built this firm with a solid foundation of integrity, respect and service – a firm that I am proud to be a part of.

In my free time I can usually be found getting my hands dirty in the garden, traipsing along the hiking trails of the beautiful Columbia River Gorge with my four-legged sidekick, Lucy, or spending quality time with family and friends.
