Joining Brown & Carlson in 2024 as a Law Clerk and became an Associate in November 2025 upon her bar admission, Daphne supports clients through all stages of the workers’ compensation claims process. She finds the most rewarding part of her work to be helping employers and insurers navigate complex claims while ensuring the process remains fair and compliant.
As a skilled communicator with a strong understanding of workers’ compensation law, Daphne builds collaboration with clear communication, mutual respect, and a shared focus on client needs. It’s this balanced approach that allows her to foster trust and deliver effective results throughout her work.
Away from the office, Daphne enjoys long-distance running, having completed several half marathons, and volunteers with Girls on the Run to inspire young girls and build their confidence.
