Our Team

​​​My work centres on estate planning and estate administration. These are not typically flashy areas of law, but they are deeply human ones. They require the same attention and presence we bring to the people and things that matter most to us.

 

I was born in rural Alberta and raised in Sherwood Park. I am drawn to work that is deep-rooted and people-focused. I discovered this through my studies in business, education, and eventually law.

 

I articled in 2015 and became a lawyer in 2016. Before opening my firm in 2023, I experienced a variety of legal settings, from a general law practice in rural Alberta, to a boutique condo and litigation firm in Downtown Edmonton, followed by a boutique wills and estates firm in Edmonton.
 

I also became a mom through my career journey. Parenthood reshaped my priorities. I wanted a practice grounded in meaningful, down-to-earth legal work. That vision became Cairns Law. 
 

I stay current in estate law by contributing to professional committees and focus groups. I am also pursuing my TEP designation through the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP Canada), a global network for professionals in inheritance and succession planning.

​

Outside of work, I am with my family and may be baking goodies for school lunches, biking around town, or cheering from the sidelines at my kids' sports and arts events. Soaking in the pace of this everyday life.
