Yale E. Schaeffer

Yale joined Davis in June 2025, bringing with her a unique blend of community-minded education and a strong foundation in administrative systems. In her role as Office Coordinator, she supports the firm’s daily operations by managing internal workflows, coordinating office logistics, and fostering an efficient, welcoming atmosphere.

Prior to this role, Yale worked with Davis in an internship capacity, gaining a broad understanding of the work done across all departments and service lines. She also managed exterior groundskeeping and site coordination for various commercial buildings throughout the Twin Cities with Fixed Assets and United Operations. Through these experiences, Yale developed a strong appreciation for the care, consistency, and attention to detail it takes to maintain functional, well managed environments. Her ability to take initiative, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully makes her an invaluable asset.

Yale graduated from Hamline University with a bachelor’s degree in Social Justice & Social Change. While at Hamline, she managed front desk operations at Hamline’s Center for Academic Success, building a strong foundation in service, organization, and equity—skills she brings to every aspect of her role at Davis.

Outside of work, Yale enjoys volunteering and other community involvement, creating art, and spending time with her family, friends and cats.
