Sarah attended Western Washington University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Business Administration. She went on to earn her Juris Doctorate from the University of San Diego School of Law.

Today, Sarah serves as an Associate Attorney at GLP Attorneys, where she combines her courtroom experience, strategic mindset, and compassion for clients to help injured people rebuild their lives. A dedicated member of GLP Attorneys’ trial team, Sarah has served on every trial team since joining the firm, and her contributions have been instrumental in achieving some of the highest jury verdicts in firm history. Her ability to connect with juries, prepare cases meticulously, and advocate fearlessly reflects her deep commitment to justice and excellence in trial work.
In addition to her trial work, Sarah is an active member of GLP Attorneys’ Trucking Area of Practice (AOP) and a member of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA), where she continues to develop specialized expertise in representing victims of catastrophic trucking and commercial vehicle collisions. Her work in this area reflects her dedication to holding negligent companies accountable and promoting safety on the roadways.
Sarah’s service extends beyond the courtroom. She has served as President of the Skagit County Bar Association and as Secretary on the Board of Directors for Skagit County Legal Aid, an organization providing free legal assistance to local residents in need. Her leadership in both professional and community settings underscores her belief that advocacy, integrity, and service are at the heart of meaningful legal work.
