Our Team

Based on my defense experience, I do not need to “guess” what a large employer or defense firm might do to defend a lawsuit – I defended lawsuits for decades for the biggest corporations on Earth and won almost everything.  I know all the defense tricks, all the defense tactics, the pitfalls, and most importantly the opportunities that litigation can provide.  

I litigate because I am determined to prove repeatedly that my clients are right on the facts and right on the law. Through delivering superior legal services to each client, we can level the playing field and collectively overcome the challenging and often bewildering landscape that litigation presents, especially for individuals who lack the resources of the corporation that has wronged them.  I will use my passion, my enthusiasm, and all my training and experience to evaluate, prosecute, and win your claim.

I am an associate attorney assisting the Lead Trial Lawyer at Ruggles Law Firm. I have experience working with clients in a broad range of employment matters, including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and wage and hour disputes. I received my Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University School of Law in 2025, where I served as Vice President of the Student Bar Association. During my time at Gonzaga, I also dedicated myself to pro bono service through the law school’s Low Income Tax Clinic, where I assisted low-income individuals with IRS audits, tax disputes, and tax filing matters.

My relationship with the firm began well before my admission to the bar. I clerked with the firm across three consecutive summers from 2022 to 2025, and upon graduating, continued as a full-time law clerk while awaiting the results of the California Bar Examination. My seamless transition to associate reflects my dedication and the trust the firm has placed in me.

Driven by a genuine passion for employment law and a deep commitment to justice in the workplace, I look forward to devoting my career to advocating for those who need it most across California.
