About

After spending fifteen years working in education in various capacities, I have earned a JD with a focus in intellectual property. I’ve started my legal career working for Rockingham County in New Hampshire as a prosecutor, exercising my ability to balance competing interests, negotiate, and thoroughly delve into complex issues in an adversarial structure. Litigating, drafting pleadings, and collaborating on trial strategy are part of my daily work. Excited to see where the journey takes me next. My years of experience working overseas and with diverse populations coupled with my legal acumen will open some very intriguing doors.
