My primary area of practice is Personal Injury Litigation. My practice includes representing individuals who have been involved in motor vehicle accidents (as drivers, passengers and pedestrians), slip and fall incidents, and civil assaults. I have represented clients in all levels of court in British Columbia: Provincial Court, Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. I have also provided practical solutions outside of the formal court system, through negotiation and mediation.

I knew from an early age that I wanted a career that would allow me to give back to my community. The practice of law is about working with clients, building a relationship with them and their families, and building relationships in our community. I am committed to providing the highest quality of service, and I respect the trust and confidence granted by my clients. While attending law school, I travelled to Europe and Asia to study international and comparative law and legal systems, and I am proud to work within the Canadian legal system.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy playing tennis and squash, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.
