A client centred lawyer who is passionate, gritty and professional, Kate brings years of negotiating experience to help her clients advance their rights through customized, creative solutions.

Kate is a member of the Indigenous Practice Group and is building her legal career focussing on governance, consultation and land issues. Her overarching goal is to help First Nations’ resurgence of inherent jurisdiction.

Prior to law Kate had an award-winning real estate practice in the GTA, while her first career was in education. As a life-long learner she fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. During law school Kate focused on Indigenous legal issues and worked closely with faculty and students to advance Indigenous knowledge and rights. She did a placement at a boutique Indigenous firm, partook in the Kwaskimhon moot and placed second at the Canadian National Negotiation Competition. Kate was also the recipient of the Spring Forward graduating award for demonstrating grit, perseverance and growth.

Kate is an active lacrosse mom, coffee lover and outdoorswoman. She is truly honoured to represent her clients and is humbled to be given space in this area.
