My Legal Practice
I work to hold employers accountable for unfair pay, discrimination, and retaliation.
I pride myself on thoroughness, pragmatism, and an open mind. I work hard to make sure my clients understand each step of their case and have the best information possible to inform their decisions.
It takes determination and follow through to vindicate many of the rights of employees, but the laws we rely on are key to creating an equitable playing field and advancing progress.

My Story
Prior to my legal career, I worked for several years as a journalist, including as a political reporter for CNN at the network’s Washington, DC bureau. I’ve seen how a dogged commitment to gathering information and asking hard questions can shed light on powerful institutions and actors.
I bring this perspective to my legal work, where I pursue and marshal evidence for my clients to hold their employers accountable.
