Fun fact: I’m a big fan of black-and-white movies, specifically American film noir from the 1940s, and anything set in Los Angeles. My favorite movie of that time is The Maltese Falcon.

About me: Before joining the Davtyan Law Firm, I had a 17-year legal assistant career at the distinguished Law Offices of Kevin T. Barnes. Under the leadership of Mr. Barnes and his law partner of 20 years, Gregg Lander, I learned strong work ethics, dependability, the power of collaboration, and loyalty. As a small firm, I became the wearer of many hats. At times, the environment was hectic and standards were high, but working in this fast-paced environment shaped my professional skills tremendously. As Mr. Barnes starts a new chapter in his life, I look forward to the opportunity of bringing those same qualities to the Davtyan Law Firm, a firm with a strong commitment to pursuing excellence and a strong desire to make a difference in people’s lives.

On most days, you can find me living in the moment, taking advantage of what each day has to offer. I love being outdoors; from a quick stroll around my neighborhood to a heart racing, high altitude, difficult hike with family and friends. I find being outdoors energizing, as it gives me a sense of perspective. I also enjoy listening to well-narrated audio books and podcasts about health, science, and nutrition.
