As a Senior Managing Assistant Attorney General of the Washington State Attorney General’s Antitrust Division, I lead and mentor teams of attorneys and professional staff in investigating matters that have the potential to restrain competition and choice for Washington and its residents. Where warranted, I also lead and mentor litigation teams in enforcing state and federal antitrust laws to preserve and restore competition, prevent and remedy harm, and deter future similar conduct. I pursue this mission through the lens of having litigated high profile competition and other complex cases in private practice for more than nineteen years prior to my public service appointment. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in economics and political science summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota. I first seized the opportunity to begin litigating antitrust cases through a clinical program during my second year of law school at the University of Wisconsin. Over the years, I have enjoyed gleaning an increased understanding about a wide range of local, national, and global marketplaces. I continue to relish the complex challenge of enforcing competition law to facilitate both continued innovation and the ability to choose amongst a range of safe and effective products, services, and labor more than two decades later.
