About

I advise clients on a wide range of employment issues, including compliance with federal and state anti-discrimination and harassment laws, WISHA/OSHA wage/hour compliance, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the National Labor Relations Act, unfair competition, and trade secrets law.  I find practical, business oriented solutions to meet my clients' needs.  I regularly conduct workplace investigations, draft and review employment policies and other employment-related documents, and provide human resources related training to employers and supervisors. As a litigator, I represent clients in disputes involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, workplace health and safety, and other employment law issues in state and federal court, as well as before administrative agencies.  My litigation experience also includes representing clients in alternative dispute resolution forums, such as mediation. Prior to law school, I enjoyed a career in human resources at the Seattle office of an international biotechnology company.  I regularly volunteer and participate in local fundraising events, and mentor law students and new attorneys.  In my spare time, I love dining out, enjoying Washington wine, yoga, running, reading, and travel. I'm also proficient in French.
