I have 29 years of experience in the legal field and am currently a Senior Litigation Paralegal. In addition to managing my own caseload from inception through trial including all phases of discovery, trial preparation, and presentation, I manage the firm’s paralegal staff, ensuring a consistent level of support and work product across the firm. My experience includes extensive case support on a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including insurance defense, maritime, aviation, and class action defense. I have provided trial support for multiple lengthy trials, including the defense of Microsoft in two multi-week trials brought by Motorola in federal court in Seattle. I was also on the firm’s team defending Snohomish County from wrongful death, personal injury, and property damage claims arising from the March 2014 Oso Landslide. Outside the office, I enjoy ~ spending time with family and friends, cheering on the Mariners and Seahawks, reading, scrapbooking, bike riding and vacationing to new places to experience different cuisines and cultures.
