Lizzy LeRud
Legal Assistant

Education: West Linn High School. Westmont College.

Professional Experience: After a letter-winning performance as Bailiff for her high school Mock Trial team, Lizzy knew she would succeed in the legal world. She went on to study modern poetry and music at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, also spending a semester in the United Kingdom studying theater and a summer teaching English in Debrecen, Hungary. After graduating, she decided to devote her intellect to law and her heart to literature. She plans to attend law school and model the rest of her life after Wallace Stevens, the lawyer and modernist poet.

Lizzy has experience working in patent law as well as family law, and she moonlights as a professional writer, specializing in marketing and, of course, poetry.

Community Involvement : Since she was young, Lizzy has played the violin in numerous community orchestras and at local churches. After college, Lizzy interned for Literary Arts of Portland and now volunteers her time at their special events. She also volunteers around her hometown of Oregon City, most recently acting as Media Relations Specialist for the Oregon City 150th Celebration committee.

Interests: Lizzy spends her time reading and being with family and friends. She comes from a long line of local history buffs and enjoys being dragged to local museums and national historic sites. Lizzy has recently learned to rock climb and her new goal is to scale a glaciated peak and join the Mazamas.
