I began working as part of Brownlee’s litigation group in 2016. Before that, I was in-house counsel for a large Alberta municipality where I also spent my Articling year.

Brownlee’s Summering and Articling programs offer invaluable mentorship and hands-on opportunities to inspire future lawyers during their formative years. Students at our firm will get involved from the get-go as they experience each of our distinct practice areas. 

We operate on an open door policy to assist junior lawyers with everything they may need. We value inclusion, diversity and fairness to ensure all students and staff feel comfortable and welcomed at the firm. One of the main reasons I have stayed at Brownlee is because of the people here, who will be sure to provide support to our aspiring lawyers in their legal career. 

Originally from British Columbia, I moved to Calgary to attend the University of Calgary and then moved to Edmonton to attend the Law School at the University of Alberta. I began my career with Brownlee as a Summer Student in 2009, and I was called to the Alberta Bar in 2012. After being called to the Bar, I joined Calgary’s Municipal department as a solicitor where my main practice areas focus on real estate transactions, development agreements, infrastructure and utility sales and acquisitions, expropriation, policy governance development, and providing advice on the operation and management of municipally owned lands.

As a passionate advocate for mentorship and talent development, I joined the Student Committee as a junior lawyer because I wanted to contribute towards the development of the next generation of legal professionals. With a strong belief that early support and guidance can make a lasting impact, I aim to bring insight and enthusiasm to the recruitment process. Drawing from my own experience as a law student and now as a practicing lawyer at Brownlee since 20212, I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where students feel empowered to succeed.
