I attended the University of California, Berkeley where I obtained two Bachelor of Arts degrees in (1) Political Science with an emphasis on International Relations and (2) Media Studies.  I made the most of my college years, producing a play, working as a research assistant, completing an internship in Washington, D.C., and studying abroad at Cambridge University, King’s College.

During my time at Southwestern Law School, I served on the Board of Governors of the Trial Advocacy Honors Program and competed nationally in mock trial competitions.  I received a CALI Award for earning the highest grade in one of my seminar courses.  Ultimately, my work was published in a legal journal, where I created an eight-factor balancing test for international courts and tribunals to help determine when an act of sexual violence is a weapon of state-sponsored of genocide. After earning my Juris Doctor degree, I completed the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates’ Fellowship.

Since becoming a licensed attorney, my primary focus has been on class action litigation.  I practice in the United States District Court for the Central, Eastern, Northern, and Southern Districts of California, as well as across all state courts in California.  I enjoy the pursuit of justice on behalf of employees and regularly negotiate high-value settlements.  I treat each case with care and have litigated matters through and past class certification. Super Lawyers named me as a “Rising Star” for 2025-2026.

As the founding member of a non-profit organization that gathered witness testimonies regarding war crimes, I collaborated with international experts in the field of human rights on various projects.  I also served as the Director of Cultural Heritage and Art, tackling cultural heritage issues during times of conflict and peace.  I traveled to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland as part of a delegation and presented evidence of war crimes before different bodies.

📓 Fun fact

I have a profound love for art in all its forms.  You can find me in the front row at a Tennessee Williams’ play, rocking out in the pit during a concert, dancing on weekends, mixing oil paints in my spare time, and staying ‘til close at international museums.
