I am an IP litigation attorney at AbbVie Inc.

Before AbbVie, I was an associate at Finnegan, LLP, in Washington, D.C., and I clerked for one year at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. During law school, I worked at Johnson & Johnson Vision Care as a patent assistant in the emerging technologies division. And before law school, I worked as a pharmaceutical research associate at Gilead Sciences assisting in drug formulations for Hepatitis B/C and HIV/AIDS.
