About me

I am an alumni of Santa Clara University School of Law where I obtained a J.D. and High Tech Law Certificate in Corporate Specialization. There, I was the Co-Managing Editor for the Journal of International Law where I wrote a comparative piece on the General Data Protection Regulation, and I also participated in the ABA Negotiation Competition. My professional interests include trademark maintenance and prosecution, online content issues, CDA 230, and privacy. I recently wrote a piece on the California Consumer Privacy Act here. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and attended the University of San Francisco for my undergraduate degree. Personally, I love baking all things, playing Settlers of Catan and watching bad movies.

My work

I help the legal team on an assortment of issues, primarily providing legal research on areas of interest. I also assist in managing the trademark portfolio and I enjoy reviewing contracts/privacy policies/TOUs for the team.
