Vanja helps clients and their families navigate from one chapter to the next using an empathetic, strategic and efficient approach. Wherever possible, she strives to achieve positive and creative solutions for clients without involving the courts, which can be tough on couples and families during already stressful circumstances.

Vanja grew up in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (Honours) from the University of New Brunswick. While there, she was a member of the UNB Reds Women’s Volleyball team and CIS Academic All-Canadian. She is thrilled to once again be part of an exceptional team of women at Chapman Family Law.

Vanja obtained her Juris Doctor from Dalhousie University in 2019. While at law school, Vanja volunteered with ProBono Students Canada and the Dalhousie Student Advocacy Service, and spent a semester working at the Dalhousie Legal Aid Clinic where her passion for family law flourished.

When not working, Vanja can be found outdoors, renovating, or relaxing with her partner and their cat, Jeffrey.
