PERSONAL STATEMENT: I have been practicing law since 1983 and enjoy the challenge and the people involved in each case, both my clients and opposing counsel. The longer I practice the more I learn about people and the law. Each legal matter is unique and interesting, whether litigating issues involving a complex construction project or drafting an operating agreement or construction management agreement.

I entered the legal profession to help others, and my ideals, while often tested, remain the same: Helping individuals in their businesses, big and small, and in their personal lives, communicate better and solve legal issues in creative ways – sometimes by going to Court or Arbitration, but, more often, by settling the case in a way that brings closure, resolution, and satisfaction.

INTERESTS: I enjoy singing, piano, walking, hiking, golfing, swimming, skiing, reading and yoga. I am a certified lay speaker in the United Methodist Church and Legal Counsel to the Church Board of Trustees. My husband and I have two children, Allan (a student in Music Education at C.U.) and Sierra (Chatfield High School) – both are excellent students and musicians. We are both active in the music, mission and outreach of Green Mountain United Methodist Church and pro bono legal services for Denver Urban Ministries as well as Metro Volunteer Lawyers.
