Legal interests: Public Defense, Juvenile Advocacy, Post-Conviction Advocacy
I was born and raised in Portland’s Foster-Powell neighborhood and attended the University of Oregon. I came to Lewis & Clark with a desire to advocate for the legal rights of working class Americans, and quickly came to the conclusion that public defense was the best field for me to do so. I am passionate about the role of public defenders in advocating for their clients’ dignity and fundamental rights in the face of an overreaching state.
