I was born in Calgary, but was raised in Okotoks. I attended the University of Calgary to complete my undergraduate degree in Political Science, and then I obtained my J.D. from Thompson Rivers University Law in Kamloops, BC. Upon returning to Alberta, I began my articles at a general practice firm in Okotoks, Alberta, where I got experience in all areas of law. However, during my articles I realized that I had a passion for Criminal Defence and transferred to Der Barristers to complete my articles. I was then hired as a a Junior Associate at Der Barristers practicing exclusively in criminal law. I have already successfully defended numerous clients on charges that include assault, impaired driving, theft, fraud, break and enter, and robbery. Additionally, I have assisted Balfour Der and Lisa Der on numerous files that range from high profile homicide cases, criminal appeals, sexual assaults, constitutional challenges, and much more I believe I have found my niche in criminal law and I have already proven to be a successful trial advocate. I am an extremely dedicated, hard working lawyer, and I always strive to do the best I possibly can for my clients. Furthermore, my pre-trial preparation, court room presence, and oral advocacy have set me apart from other lawyers and have helped me achieve positive results. I also have the benefit of being able to rely on the combined experience of Balfour Der and Lisa Der who provide continuous mentorship and guidance. I am a member of the Calgary Bar Association and the Calgary Criminal Lawyer's Association. Outside of law I enjoy playing sports such as golf and hockey, and I play in a Senior C Lacrosse league for the Okotoks Erratic.
