I am a graduate from the University of Oregon Law School, and I received my undergraduate degree in Spanish from the University of California at Berkeley. I have been practicing law since 1978 in Oregon and 1994 in Washington.

I am certified to appear before all state and federal courts in Washington and Oregon, including the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people, and in my practice I emphasize serving individuals. I enjoy being with my family, working in the family flower and vegetable garden, and also doing volunteer work in the community.

I have a variety of experience in a variety of positions, with over 6 years experience as a legal assistant. I have enjoyed most all of the jobs I have had, but working for Peter as his assistant is one of my most favorite.

I have 3 grown children, and 4 young grandchildren and am enjoying being "gramma". I enjoy participating in my church and theater groups, having done some musicals, as well as backstage and costuming, and enjoy reading, sewing, dancing and much more. I have done costuming for the Vancouver Dance Theatre here in Vancouver. I also enjoy camping at anyplace we can find water to camp near. For my personal photos please see my photos page.
