About Me

Why did you decide to practice employment law?

I chose employment law because work is such a big part of our lives. Most of us spend a huge portion of our week on the job. That time should be spent in a safe, respectful environment where people can earn a living without harassment or unfair treatment. When someone’s job is impacted, it affects everything, from housing to education to overall stability. I’m passionate about helping people protect their rights and be treated with the dignity they deserve at work.

What’s the most important aspect of the law to you?

The most important aspect of the law to me is protecting individual rights. The system isn’t always perfect, and outcomes don’t always feel fair, but making sure people’s rights are upheld is critical. At the end of the day, everyone deserves to be heard, respected, and protected under the law.

Who or what inspired you to become an attorney?

It might sound cliché, but I was inspired to become an attorney because I genuinely enjoy helping people. I have always worked in people-focused roles, and I find it rewarding to help others navigate challenges and find solutions. Law felt like a natural next step. It allows me to advocate for others, guide them through difficult situations, and work toward the best possible outcome.
