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 by working on valuable projects and learning from experienced lawyers.

I recently graduated with distinction from the Juris Doctor program at the University of Alberta, Faculty of Law. In law school, I competed in the Adam F. Fanaki Competition Law Moot and the Laskin Moot. From my mooting experience, I learned important advocacy and team-based skills. I also worked as an Editor on the Alberta Law Review and volunteered as a member of the Student Articling Committee. In my first year, I participated in a legal clinic, which required me to regularly attend before the Provincial Court of Alberta.

Before law school, I obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration (with distinction) from Simon Fraser University. While completing my undergraduate studies, I worked as a retail associate in a clothing store for several years.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball with friends and learning new recipes to cook.
