I worked with Ashbaugh Beal as a Summer Associate in 2021 and promptly joined the firm after graduating early from the University of Washington School of Law. During law school, I had the privilege of working on complex litigation cases with different law firms, as well as working in the chambers of Chief Justice González on the Washington State Supreme Court. Working with this variety of legal minds provided me with a multi-faceted look at how to address complicated legal problems. Through my experiences I have learned to address legal issues with a creative and flexible twist. I incorporate these lessons into my work with Ashbaugh Beal.
