I continue to be selected by my peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America for Concord, NH in the fields of Commercial Transactions/UCC Law, Real Estate Law, and Securities Regulation. I am also named by Best Lawyers as Concord's 2023 "Lawyer of the Year" in Commercial Transactions/UCC Law. I am recognized as a top-rated business and corporate lawyer and litigation attorney in Concord, NH, by Super Lawyers with a Rising Stars designation for 2016-2021.

In 2020, I received the New Hampshire Bar Foundation's Robert Kirby Award. The Kirby Award is presented annually to an attorney 35 years old or younger who demonstrates the traits of civility, courtesy, perspective, and excellent advocacy. Bob Kirby, for whom the award is named, was an attorney with Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell, P.C., and is remembered as a young lawyer "of great skill, civility and good humor" when he died at age 35. I am the 24th recipient of the award, and the first person from the firm to receive it.

I am serving my second, three-year term on the New Hampshire Professional Conduct Committee, to which I was appointed by the New Hampshire Supreme Court. I am presently the Vice Chair.

I have also served on multiple nonprofit boards. I am the Immediate Past President of the New Hampshire Women's Bar Association, where I have served on the Board for the past eight years. I served for four years as Community Outreach Chair of the Webster-Batchelder American Inn of Court, three years as Trustee of the New Hampshire Supreme Court Society, and three years as Director of Red River Theatres. I am an alumna of the Junior Service League of Concord and served six years on the Northern New England (ME, NH, and VT) regional board of the American Red Cross. In 2019, the NH/VT division of the American Red Cross awarded me "Board Member of the Year."

I am a business lawyer and lobbyist who helps businesses expand, transition ownership, negotiate commercial financing, form, wind-up, or sell. My practice also involves real estate, including condominium and timeshare developments, corporate compliance, securities, regulatory matters, land use, and commercial litigation. I advise my clients on transactional matters, how to avoid litigation, and what to do and expect if litigation occurs.
