My Why
What powers my practice
After graduating college, I worked as a software developer, but my work wasn’t as challenging or innovative as I hoped. Inspired by my dad’s career as a patent attorney, I studied for law school at night with a focus on patents. I’m energized by learning about cutting-edge computing technologies and staying current with emerging trends. Growth comes through learning—and I never want to stop. My aim is to be a personable, knowledgeable professional who’s always ready to help.
