About
I practice in the areas of business, real estate, family and estate planning law. I was called to the Ontario Bar and to the British Columbia Bar. Prior to that I articled at the Ministry of Attorney General and worked at the Ontario Securities Commission. I completed my law degree at the University of Victoria where I attended the Law Centre intensive clinical program and was a member of the Business Law Association. I have an undergraduate degree in Business from York University, where I took courses in economics, finance and accounting. Prior to attending law school I worked in banking and wealth management services. I am a member of the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) and Victoria Bar Association and was nominated to be the Chair of the Vancouver Island Wills and Trusts Section of the CBA.
