Murphy obtained her law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the Bar in British Columbia and Ontario in 2007. After completing her articles with a national union in Toronto, Murphy joined Fiorillo Glavin Gordon in October 2007. Born in British Columbia but raised in Ontario, Murphy is delighted to be back in Vancouver.

Murphy is committed to representing workers and her main areas of practice include labour law, human rights law and administrative law.
