I was born and raised in Bakersfield, California. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in English. After college, I worked in Washington DC for a large defense contractor. I returned to California for law school and graduated Order of the Coif from UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall) in 2001. My practice centers around employer defense. More specifically, I provide counsel on a wide-range of employment law issues, including privacy, wage and hour, harassment, discrimination, and termination.

Why do you like practicing law in the San Joaquin Valley? |
 |
| A: |
 |
As a Bakersfield native, I was always eager to get back to the Central Valley. And, after spending nearly seven years in Berkeley for college and law school, I developed a true appreciation for my hometown. Good people, good values, good food, and good prices…that’s Bakersfield! |
