Professional Experience
I had a tremendously rewarding experience as a summer student in the Litigation department at the firm, and am very excited to return to complete my articles.
I obtained my Juris Doctor from the University of Western Ontario. I was awarded with the national Geoff Weller Memorial Prize by the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies (CASIS) for my course work in National Security Law, and presented my paper at the CASIS annual conference in Ottawa. Throughout law school, I was actively involved in multiple Student Legal Society committees both as member and as chairperson, and volunteered as a project leader with Pro Bono Students Canada to gain meaningful experience in a legal environment. I also enjoyed the challenges of mooting, and finished as a finalist in Western's upper year internal advocacy competition. I was a frequent participant in intramural sports at Western, keeping active with soccer, ultimate frisbee, and flag football.
Prior to attending law school, I obtained an Honours BA in English Literature and History at Queen's University, where I was on the Dean's Honour List and awarded with the Alexander MacLachlan Peace Prize. I also represented Queen's in the Ontario University Equestrian Association as a member of the Queen's Equestrian Team.
I enjoy snowboarding, gardening, and the hunter/jumper disciplines of horseback riding.
