I am an associate attorney for the firm of Reif & Hunsaker, P.C. handling Business, Trusts and Estates, and Intellectual Property as well as general Civil Law. I was born and raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and received my Bachelor of Science in International Business, with a minor in German, at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. I then spent several years in Europe as a business linguistics trainer for Demos Consulting in Paris, France, and then as a marketing associate for best practices research for the Corporate Executive Board in London, UK. Upon returning to the U.S., I settled in Seattle, WA, where I attended law school at Seattle University and received my J.D. In 2011, I passed the Washington state bar examination. From 2009 until 2014, I worked for Intellectual Ventures handling intellectual property transactions and was involved with the acquisition of hundreds of patents and patent applications. In 2015, I relocated to Portland, OR, passed the Oregon bar examination, and was admitted to practice in November 2015. In my free time, I enjoy traditional American music and dance, and exploring the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest.
