Before Hope became a personal injury lawyer, she spent eighteen years as a nurse. After earning her Bachelor of Nursing degree through Washington State University and Gonzaga University in 2002, Hope worked in intensive care, labor and delivery, and rural nursing, caring for patients through some of the hardest moments of their lives. That experience shapes everything about how she represents injured people today.

In the ICU, Hope cared for patients with the kinds of injuries she now sees in her clients: trauma, brain injuries, and catastrophic harm from crashes and other accidents. In rural nursing, she saw firsthand how far injured people in small communities often have to travel for care, and how much that affects their recovery and their families.
Hope earned her J.D. from the University of Idaho College of Law in 2010 but following graduation continued to work full time as a nurse. After relocating to Southern Utah in 2017, she left nursing in 2020 to take the bar and devote her career to representing injured people, and she has practiced in Utah since 2021. Hope handles cases in Utah state courts and in the United States District Court for the District of Utah.

Hope is active in the Utah legal community. She was selected for the Utah State Bar’s Leadership Academy (Class of 2025) and currently serves on the Bar’s Character and Fitness Committee, which reviews the qualifications of applicants seeking admission to practice law in Utah. She is a member of the Southern Utah Bar Association and the Utah Association of Justice and the American Association of Justice.

Outside the office, Hope stays busy with her two children, husband and her beloved Shih Tzu, George. Whenever she gets the chance, you’ll find her at the Pilates studio, running or out enjoying Southern Utah’s trails and water on a hike or a paddleboard.
