Jennifer has practiced family law since 2016. As a student at Lewis & Clark Law School, she was a student intern at the National Crime Victim Law Institute and the Lewis & Clark Legal Clinic. She received the Outstanding Client Advocacy Award in 2015 for her work at the latter. Jennifer understands personally the emotional toll that divorce can take on a family, and strives to reach settlements that allow everyone to heal and move forward.

 Raised in rural Oregon, Jennifer earned a B.A. in English from Western Oregon University in 2004 and an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Oregon in 2007. She worked as a freelance entertainment journalist and marketing copywriter before returning to law school and earning her J.D. from Lewis & Clark in 2015. Away from the office, she shares her time with her husband, two teenagers, and their shelter-rescue dog, Hubble.
