I was born and raised in rural Manitoba and obtained my Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from the University of Manitoba. After completing my undergraduate studies, I moved west to attend law school at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. During my time in law school, I was awarded the Dean’s Course Prize in Basic Tax Law.

I completed my articles at a small criminal defence firm in Victoria, where I gained invaluable court experience and was able to assist some of the most vulnerable members of society. I was subsequently called to the British Columbia bar in 2022.

I am looking forward to continuing to build my practice with a focus on real estate, estate planning, estate administration, and corporate/business law. My goal is to always ensure that my clients feel comfortable and informed about the process every step of the way.

When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking, and dining at some of the wonderful restaurants that Victoria has to offer. I am also an avid sports fan who enjoys watching and cheering on my favourite sports teams, particularly the Winnipeg Jets and Seattle Seahawks.
