I became a Personal Family Lawyer to help people like you and families like yours plan for the future. Facing the potential for incapacity and death can be daunting and nerve-wracking, and I know from experience that planning for the unthinkable is the best way to secure your family and bring you peace of mind. I support people and families of all types who want to plan for the future so they can truly savor the present.

I began my legal career working for a safety-focused agency in the federal government. After a few years, I moved into private practice at a well-established DC law firm, where I used my expertise to help companies create and defend their safety programs. While I believed wholeheartedly in advancing safety, this career path soon exposed the disconnect between the work I was doing and the impact I wanted to have on people’s lives. I loved the pro-bono work I did with and for real people and wanted to find a way to connect with my clients on a personal level, rather than a corporate one. I founded Sage Legal so I could do just that. Now, I enjoy learning about my clients and empowering them to make the best possible decisions for themselves and their loved ones.

I am a proud native of northern Virginia, where I had the privilege of being in the very first Spanish-English immersion class in Arlington. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Brown University and my law degree from the University of Virginia. I am proficient in Spanish and I travel to Latin America whenever I can, tasting as many types of salsa and hot sauce as possible. I live in Fairfax, Virginia with my furry family (whose care is all covered under my estate plan). I love to spend time with my human friends and family too.
