About Us: Summer O'Conner

Summer O’Connor was born and raised in Denver, Colorado.

Following high school, Summer experienced many rich and exciting adventures while traveling. She journeyed across the western U.S. by train, toured Canada, explored British Columbia’s splendor, and backpacked over Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. Summer also spent a month in Peru, working on an archaeological dig through the Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Following her travels, Summer attended college and furthered her burgeoning legal career. She attended schools in Denver and Seattle, where she studied botany, sign language, and writing. While living in Seattle, Summer worked as Executive Assistant for the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel for a large local shipyard.

Upon returning to Denver, Summer has established herself as a major player in both the legal industry and in her community. While providing invaluable services to Katherine Karuschkat, P.C., she has volunteered her time to the University of Colorado at Boulder’s 30th Street Greenhouse, where she helped maintain the facility and cared for certain species of plant life. She also cooks a ten-gallon bucket of soup for the homeless community during the holidays. Summer contributes to her community financially as well, donating to local radio stations and organizations sponsoring the deaf and blind community.

Summer has a number of interests that keep her life fun and rewarding. As a poet and a potter, Summer’s memberships have included: the Colorado Writer’s Guild; the Seattle Poets’ Group, and Pottery Northwest—an amazing studio in Seattle. Summer also enjoys bicycling, hiking, backpacking, treasure hunts, and making jewelry.

Clearly a hard-worker, Summer will continue her education at Metropolitan State College of Denver, pursuing her goal to become an accomplished writer on issues concerning plants and the environment.

With nearly ten years in the legal field and so much passion for life, Summer is truly an asset to Katherine Karuschkat, P.C. She brings both the knowledge and dedication necessary to help families through turbulent times.
