Before joining the firm in 2025, she practiced on environmental plaintiff class actions and general civil litigation and clerked for judges of the Alaska Superior Court, giving her experience with both advocacy and judicial decision-making.

Carolyn earned a J.D. and a master’s degree in Environmental Law and Policy from Vermont Law School and a Bachelor of Arts from Alma College.

Her education directly supports work involving environmental regulation, natural resources, and litigation.

Carolyn’s prior legal experience includes internships with the Vermont Natural Resources Council and Advocates for the West. Her private-practice work involved environmental plaintiff class actions and general civil litigation, while her Alaska clerkships provided exposure to court procedure and a wide range of disputes. This combination helps her analyze environmental claims, factual records, procedural issues, and litigation strategy with a practical perspective.
