§ 01  ·  About

A Winnipeg lawyer with a business mind and a careful hand.

Before law school I earned an Honours Bachelor of Commerce from the Asper School of Business — a background that continues to shape how I think about corporate matters and real estate transactions. At Robson Hall I was awarded prizes for top standing in both contracts and wills and succession, and was a finalist at the Canadian Negotiation Competition.

I joined Tapper Cuddy LLP as an associate following my call to the Manitoba Bar in 2019. Today my practice is focused on three closely-connected areas where careful drafting and clear communication make the most difference.

Outside the office I've served as Past-Chair of the YM-YWCA of Winnipeg and am a member of the Manitoba and Canadian Bar Associations.
