Biography

Much of her writing is informed by her nearly 10 years of law practice as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and general practitioner in a small community in northern Utah. Her work has featured or is forthcoming in a variety of publications, including the Virginia Law Review, the Georgetown Law Journal, the Washington University Law Review, the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, and the University of Chicago Law Review Online.
