About
I aim to practice law with an approach that is analytical and compassionate at its core.
Passionate About the Work
I’m passionate about civil sexual assault work because it’s a way to hold others accountable for their wrongful actions. It is also a way for survivors to share their stories about what they’ve been through and how they’ve been impacted, in a way they’re unable to in the criminal system.
Motivation is Key
I’m motivated to help seek justice on behalf of those who have not been believed and who have questioned whether it was worth speaking up. I hope to repair even a tiny fraction of their pain so they can try to move forward with their lives.
