My Why
What powers my practice
I was drawn to law because of the way it blends strategy, problem-solving, and impact. What energizes me most is being at the intersection of law and innovation, whether that’s structuring a deal, building out a contract matrix, or piloting new AI workflows to solve client problems. I’ve tried to build a reputation as someone who doesn’t just “keep” knowledge but actively shares it—by creating tools colleagues can use, giving clients frameworks that last beyond one transaction, and mentoring in the community. For me, law isn’t just about risk management; it’s about enabling growth, opportunity, and stronger relationships.
