Jessica earned her juris doctor degree at Seattle University School of Law after two decades committed to the arts in her communities of Redmond and Seattle serving in various roles such as an appointed City of Redmond Arts and Culture Commissioner and Seattle Art Museum docent.

In law school, Jessica interned at the King County Department of Public Defense. She served as a research assistant and used her fluency in Spanish to work on a pro bono asylum case from the Northwest Immigrant’s Rights Project. At graduation, Jessica was recognized as a Pro Bono Pledge Outstanding Service Awardee.

Jessica’s passion for people has found a home as an Estate Planning attorney, paying careful attention to the details and nuances of each client’s story. Jessica has a deep commitment to helping clients as they take stock of their lives and trajectories, and plan for their future and that of their families.

Jessica continues her civic work sitting on the Foundation Board of OneRedmond, the City of Redmond’s Economic Development Organization and Chamber of Commerce, is a Gallery Partner at Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery, serves as Treasurer of VALA Eastside, and continues to use her Spanish skills in her pro bono immigration work today.
