I am very excited to return to McMillan as an articling student after a great summer with the firm. I look forward to further developing my legal skills and receiving additional mentorship in McMillan’s collaborative environment.

I recently graduated from the Juris Doctor program at the Peter A. Allard School of Law (Allard) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). While at Allard, I competed in two moots, which allowed me to travel to the U.K. and compete against students from many other countries. I held positions as Co-President of the Allard Law and Business Society, Assistant Editor on the UBC Law Review, and Student Clinician at the Law Students’ Legal Advice Program. I also acted as a student clinician in Allard’s Business Law Clinic, advising start-ups on a variety of legal issues. This furthered my experience with start-ups, initially developed from a previous summer job as a Legal Intern at a local Vancouver fintech company. During that summer, I also started my own marketing company that services existing companies and their marketing efforts for returning customers.

Prior to law school, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree (with distinction) at the University of Calgary, majoring in Political Science. During my undergraduate studies, I acted as President of Make-A-Wish’s University of Calgary chapter, and spent my final year studying abroad in Durham, U.K.

In my spare time, you will find me on the golf course, the soccer field, or out for a jog. When I am stuck indoors, you will find me behind a book.
