Reese Richmond is an Executive/Legal Assistant based out of our Boise office. A graduate of Boise State University, Reese received her Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Government with an emphasis in American Government and Public Policy. 

She chose to pursue a career in law because of the industry’s great capacity to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Ultimately, Reese’s goal is to attend law school and continue her work in the legal field. 

Before joining Smith + Malek, Reese worked as a legislative intern with the Idaho House of Representatives, a government affairs specialist with Westberg & Associates – a government relations service in Boise – and as the Idaho Mining Association’s director of strategic communications. She decided to pursue work at Smith + Malek because she aligns with their mission to make tomorrow better. 

Outside of work, Reese spends her time working out, reading and engaging in outdoor activities like camping, hiking and skiing.
