Background
I am a lifelong New Mexican and attended the University of New Mexico for both undergraduate and law school. I received a B.A. in History and Political Science. In law school, I completed externships at the New Mexico Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico. I served as the Managing Editor of the New Mexico Law Review, received the award for Outstanding Scholastic Achievement at the end of my law school term, and was honored with the “Si Se Puede” award by my classmates. In 2025, I was awarded Young Lawyer of the Year by the New Mexico Defense Lawyers Association.
I focus my practice primarily in the areas of insurance coverage, complex civil litigation, and products liability.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors.
