2L Summer Associate at White & Case LLP (NYC). Former engineer with experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Current J.D. candidate at USC Gould School of Law. My multidisciplinary background includes second-authorship in regenerative medicine research published in 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122473). As an engineer, I validated critical processes and equipment in an FDA-regulated setting, developed new protocols that led to a company gaining new accreditation, and gained analytical skills in regulatory compliance. On the more theoretical side, I enjoy exploring different views of federal judicial power, grappling with difficult questions on the judiciary’s role in a federal constitutional republic. Constitutional Structure and Federal Courts are among my favorite law-school courses In the face of emerging technological and regulatory challenges, I am excited to leverage my engineering skill set in the legal field.
