Heidi graduated from the Maine University School of Law cum laude in 2007. In law school, Heidi was a teaching assistant for legal writing and for constitutional law. She also worked as an intern in the District Attorney’s office. In addition, Heidi worked at the Maine Women’s Policy Center, where she did substantial work on a project to address the lack of access to health insurance for women going through divorces which resulted in recommendations to change Maine’s statutes.

The law school selected her to participate in the Edward T. Gignoux Inn of Court as a student member.

Heidi has also spoken in several forums, including at the annual conference of the Association of Capital Reporters and Editors at the National Press Club, addressing the problems and needs of post-secondary education in welfare reform.

Heidi is doing work in all of the firm’s practice areas. Heidi has been appointed by the president of the Maine Senate to serve on the Maine Childrens’ Growth Council. She continues to be active in issues concerning the welfare of parents and their children.
