About

I am passionate about helping employees who have experienced unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation at work because I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity in the workplace. I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and grew up in the Mountain West. I have been in Oregon for over two decades, and since I earned my law degree magna cum laude at Willamette University College of Law, I have been fighting to protect the rights of workers across our state.
