The Writer’s Salon

I am a natural storyteller turned attorney, who is coming back to my roots. A California native and former teacher and equestrian, I moved to Utah to attend law school and earned my Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Utah and made Park City, Utah, my home. During and immediately after law school I worked for the Utah Attorney General as a law clerk and young attorney before becoming a Deputy District Attorney in Salt Lake County. After five years with the Salt Lake County District Attorney, I decided to work closer to my home in Park City as a prosecutor for the Summit County Attorney so I could enjoy the beautiful recreation options. Eventually I transitioned into private practice at a small firm in town as a divorce and defense attorney. In 2015 I made another change and opened my own practice which focuses on a peace-making model of dispute resolution and now I practice Collaborative Family Law and mediation only. The transition to a more peaceful dispute resolution model allows me time and energy to work on my writing, maximize my time in the Sierra Nevada mountains of my childhood summers, and create a community of writers to support and cultivate the storyteller in all of us.
