Years on the Job

Just over one year in my current role

Where did you grow up?

New Rochelle, NY

What brought you to DC?

I majored in journalism and political science, and was thinking about law school at the time. DC was (and still is) a great place to explore my interests.

What was your first job in DC and what did you learn?

Before I was a lawyer I worked as a public interest fellow at the National Whistleblowers Center, where I learned how important it is for lawyers to advocate on behalf of underrepresented populations.
