I am the Coordinator of Family Law Services at Legal Aid BC, and my responsibilities include overseeing and managing LABC's Family Duty Counsel and Family LawLINE services.  Prior to joining LABC in 2015, I was a lawyer in private practice assisting both legal aid and privately-paying clients.  Since my call to the bar in 1990, my primary area of practice has always been family law, but has also included wills & estates and residential conveyancing.  From 2010 to 2015 I was the full-time lead family duty counsel at the New Westminster courthouse, and I enjoyed assisting a diverse array of clients to find their path forward towards resolving their family law issues.  When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, reading and spending time outdoors: running, walking, hiking, cycling, snowshoeing and camping.
