My Why
What powers my practice
During college, I developed a strong interest in constitutional law. I was drawn to how constitutional principles and their interpretation shape our society. Today, I collaborate with clients to identify the legal issues impacting their transactions and relationships, then craft well-structured, strategic contracts to address those challenges. My involvement with nonprofit boards and community initiatives grounds my work in real-world perspective and collaboration. I aim to bring pragmatism and thoughtful counsel to every engagement.
