A criminal investigator internship at the Public Defender’s Office sparked my initial interest in law. Before this, I worked as a cook, bartender, and bouncer in restaurants and bars, in a meat factory, and even as a boxing trainer. My pre-law journey gave me ground-level experience handling the issues businesses face every day. 

At UMass Law, I wasn’t just the top graduate; I also honed my skills working for two Federal Court judges, in litigation firms, and in the community development clinic, where I helped small businesses and non profits with their legal needs. 

After law school, I brought my diverse skillset to San Francisco’s thriving startup scene, focusing on tech, financial compliance, and the burgeoning crypto landcape. Now at Schneider & Branch, I leverage my unique background to advocate for individuals and businesses.
