Seattle, Washington, United States
I passed the July 2024 California Bar Exam and am now officially admitted to practice law the State of California. I previously represented public entities in a variety of civil litigation matters, primarily labor and employment disputes, which are my passion. I received my J.D. from UC Law, San Francisco in May 2024. I recently served as a Research Assistant to Chancellor & Dean David Faigman, as Executive Articles Editor for UC Law SF Journal, Vol. 75, and as a Board Member for the UC Law SF Negotiation & Dispute Resolution Team. Through years of customer service, I bring strong communication and organizational skills. In addition, my creative background from working in Theatre and Arts Administration motivates me to succeed using outside-of-the-box solutions. My eclectic work experience continued to influence and drive my work in publicity at Random House, where I worked on campaigns for Jodi Picoult, Andy Weir, Jon Meacham, Wes Moore, Judd Apatow, Graham Moore, Ernest Cline, among others. In my personal time, I practice yoga, play several instruments, develop artistic projects, and attempt to find space for my ever-expanding book collection in my small apartment. With everything I do, I strive to help others in the hopes that my life is lived with purpose and a positive impact.
