About Me

I live in the Pacific Northwest, splitting my time between the beautiful ski and lake resort town of Sandpoint, Idaho and Seattle, WA.

​

My background includes working for an artificial intelligence startup, collaborating with small businesses and startups to achieve their goals, practicing as a class action litigation, business, and real estate attorney, and volunteering as an English teacher with the United Nations.

I was raised in Washington State and began my academic journey at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, where I earned a B.A. in Economics. I went on to receive my J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law, graduating in 2020. I also completed a Master of Arts in Economics and earned a Certificate in Machine Learning from Cornell University—adding a technical and data-driven dimension to my legal work. I am an active member of the Washington State, Idaho and New York Bar Associations. In addition, I  provide pro bono legal services supporting housing accessibility and environmental conservation in the Pacific Northwest.

​

During my time in law school, I actively engaged in both academic and extracurricular pursuits. I served as a Note and Comment Editor for the Law Review, where I contributed to the editorial process and provided substantive feedback on submissions. I was also a member of the Moot Court Council, participating in the coordination of advocacy competitions and honing my oral advocacy skills. Additionally, I worked as a Research Assistant, supporting faculty with legal research and writing across a range of complex legal topics. 

​

While earning my Juris Doctor, I concurrently pursued a Master’s in Economics, gaining a multidisciplinary perspective that enhances my approach to legal analysis and decision-making.

​

Outside of work, I love to snowboard, ski, kayak, backpack, climb mountains, run, and travel. I am also an active member in the art community here in Sandpoint. Hepler Law & Consulting, PLLC has participated in the Pend Oreille Art Council's (POAC) Art Walk for the past two years, which showcases local Idaho artists in business spaces in
downtown Sandpoint.
