I grew up in Rancho Palos Verdes and attended Chadwick School. Following high school I went to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I returned to the South Bay after college and went to Loyola Law School. At Loyola, I served as an Articles editor for the Entertainment Law Journal and also represented the Student Bar Association as Activities Chair. I received my law degree in 1997 and was admitted to the California bar that same year.Thatcher | LawProviding legal help to my family, friends and neighbors has always been the most meaningful part of the work I do.
