The firm offered her a full-time position which she accepted. She has since moved up to our Real Estate department where she continues to deliver high quality service to our clients.
She hails from a well-known long-standing ranching family in the Foothills and enjoys any activity that gets her outside with her Berner, Juniper. She loves walking, horseback riding, “crafting,” Growing up on a ranch which had a rehabilitation program for troubled youths instilled in her the desire to want to help others and that strong caring ability undeniably transferred over to Dixon Legal LLP’s client.
