Personal Interests & Charitable Work
As a passionate advocate for justice and outdoor enthusiast, I find balance in both my professional and personal pursuits. My love for the great outdoors is evident in my frequent mountain biking adventures, camping trips, and quality time spent with family in nature's embrace. These activities not only rejuvenate my spirit but also deepen my connection to the land and communities I serve. Recently, I had the transformative experience of attending Burning Man in Black Rock City, Nevada. This unique event broadened my perspectives and reinforced my belief in the power of community and self-expression. It's this same spirit of openness and exploration that fuels my love for travel and culinary adventures, always eager to sample diverse cuisines and immerse myself in new cultures. My commitment to service extends beyond my professional practice. I take great pride in providing pro bono representation to low-income individuals in the Navajo Nation tribal courts. Additionally, I regularly participate in pro bono clinics in San Juan and McKinley counties in New Mexico, ensuring access to justice for those who need it most. As a newly admitted member of the California Bar, I'm excited to bring my passion for service to Los Angeles. I look forward to engaging in pro bono work in this vibrant city, continuing my mission to make legal representation accessible to all. In essence, my personal interests and charitable activities reflect my core values: a love for nature, a commitment to community, and a dedication to justice. Whether I'm conquering a challenging mountain bike trail or advocating for a client in tribal court, I approach each experience with enthusiasm, empathy, and a drive to make a positive impact.
