Sarah is a full-service environmental attorney whose knowledge spans the fields of water, solid and hazardous waste, land use, and renewable energy. Her valuable insights and extensive connections are the product of more than a decade of environmental experience representing both the regulator and the regulated community. 

Sarah is uniquely positioned to offer personalized advice to a diverse group of clients. She previously served as an attorney for the California State Water Resources Control Board and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, where she worked on permitting, enforcement, statewide policies, and rulemaking.
