About me

Former historian, current lawyer, perpetual writer.

I studied ancient history and archaeology before deciding to change gears and become a lawyer. Besides tech law, I have particular experience in immigration law and various flavors of civil litigation.

I'm originally from Seattle, and I don't miss the rain. If I'm not at work, I'm probably reading, working on one of my many writing projects, playing video games, or exploring and getting to know SF.

My work

As a legal fellow, I am involved with a variety of tasks and issues, supporting the Foundation’s lawyers as they work to advance its goals and support and protect the community. In addition to an interest in IP, I am broadly interested in issues of free speech, privacy, and online safety and civility.
