Rebecca earned a B.A. from the University of Rochester, and a Juris Doctor from UC Law San Francisco (formerly known as the University of California, Hastings College of the Law). At UC Law SF, Rebecca was Co-Editor In Chief of the UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice (known at the time as the Hastings Women’s Law Journal).

Before she became a lawyer, Rebecca was a community health educator in Turkmenistan, as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and in Marin County, California.

"Rebecca expertly guided me through the divorce process with dedication and compassion. As a highly skilled negotiator, she was able to strategize for the best possible outcome while considering multiple scenarios. Rebecca was professional, responsive and thoughtful. I was more than grateful to have her in my corner!"

“Rebecca helped me through the divorce process in a professional yet empathetic manner. She helped me figure out what was most important to me and what I could compromise on to keep the process moving. I felt like she was the person I could rely on and trust during one of the hardest things I have ever done. I consulted with a few attorneys before I chose to hire Rebecca. I would recommend her very highly."

"We worked with Rebecca and her team to do a basic estate plan (will, healthcare proxy, power of attorney). She was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable, and never rushed nor rude. One thing we really appreciated was the levity she brought to what would otherwise be some pretty dour conversations. She answered all of our questions patiently, offered solid advice, distilled our contribution down to answering a handful of important questions, and organized a socially-distanced signing to wrap things up"
