Sara K. Leonetti

Sara grew up in Vancouver, Washington and moved to Seattle to study at the University of Washington.  At the UW, Sara majored in history and philosophy.  She enjoyed competing on the UW undergraduate mock trial team, taking on multiple leadership roles, including vice president.  In 2015, the Department of History awarded Sara the Thomas Power Prize, designating her as the department's outstanding senior.  Graduating summa cum laude, Sara also received the 2015 President's Medal--an honor given to the top two graduates in each UW class.

After graduation, Sara taught English in rural Thailand with her husband.  Upon returning to the Northwest, Sara attended the UW School of Law, where she served as Moot Court Honor Board Vice President of In-House Competitions, as well as an Articles Editor for the Washington Law Review.  Throughout law school, Sara competed on a national mock trial team, becoming a quarterfinalist at the National Trial Competition during her third year.  Sara also received the Judge John C. Coughenour Award in Trial Advocacy for best oral advocate.  In 2019, Sara graduated with honors and was selected to join the Order of the Barristers.  From there, she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Rosanna Malouf Peterson in the Eastern District of Washington.

Sara lives in Seattle with her husband, Landon, and her unruly pets.  She could not be happier to live in the Pacific Northwest and enjoys hiking, camping, and skiing throughout Washington and Oregon.
