My role at The Rains Law Firm involves scheduling and helping clients through the engagement process, which is never dull and always rewarding. I love helping people, especially in the context of purposeful estate planning. Because family is important to me, I embrace our firm’s mission of helping clients invest in their family’s future by passing on family values, strengthening family relationships, and maximizing their potential.

My professional background includes – we will just say many years – in client account management, recruiting, news production and commercial writing. With a degree in Mass Communications from the University of Denver, I started my career in print media, which perfectly combined three of my favorite things: research, interviewing people, and writing.

I had first developed those skills while completing a legal internship for a Denver District Court judge, which also sparked my interest in the legal field. Coming full circle with the opportunity to work at a law firm is great, but I especially appreciate that The Rains Law Firm intentionally creates a positive work environment by developing a team-spirited, mission-driven, values-centered culture with a servant-leadership management style. That hugely reflects on how we as stakeholders treat our clients and professional partners.

As a Colorado native, I enjoyed exploring the mountains and scenic spots in my home state while growing up. Not that I ever really grew up, but now I spend most of my free time with my wonderful husband, adult children, and big, extended family. I also love to laugh, and while I take my work seriously, I will never take myself or others too seriously. Life is too short!

My role as the Funding Paralegal at Rains Law Firm is to ensure your trust is fully funded. As a former estate administration paralegal, I understand the importance of a properly funded trust. My job is to review all accounts you hold individually and work with the institutions to change ownership from you as an individual to your newly created trust. I am passionate about helping you complete the final step in your purposeful estate planning. I am very family oriented, which is why I embrace the firm’s mission, especially when it come to strengthening family relationships.

I graduated from Colorado State University with a B.A. in Political Science. I received my paralegal certificate through the American Bar Association – approved Paralegal Certificate Program at Arapahoe Community College. I have seven years of experience as a paralegal in various areas of law including Probate, Eminent Domain, Premise Liability and Employment law.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two dogs. During the winter and spring, you will find me snowboarding at Keystone with my brother. In the fall you will find me at Canvas Stadium cheering for the Rams, with my family and best friend. Throughout the summer, my husband and I enjoy trying different breweries and spending time with our family and friends.
