My Why
What powers my practice
I’ve always been drawn to STEM fields, but with strengths in reading and writing, I found law to be the best way to engage with the industries I admire. As a venture lawyer, I enjoy collaborating with creative and technologically driven founders and supporting their teams as they grow. I’m passionate about my work and committed to being a reliable, hardworking asset to both clients and colleagues.
