I graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2000 and completed my articling year at a corporate/commercial litigation firm in Toronto. I joined Reilly & Partners as an Associate after my call to the Bar in 2002 and became a Partner in 2008.

I also act on behalf clients in matters before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Ministry of Labour.
My community involvement includes organizing fundraising campaigns for Epilepsy York Region and the Heart and Stroke Foundation, leading food donation and blood donation drives, and acting as a member of the Diversity and Community Engagement Committee for the Town of Ajax.
My professional affiliations include: the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association, the Durham Region Law Association, the Employment Lawyers Association of Ontario and the Filipino Canadian Lawyers Network.
