What can I solve for you?

With my extensive background in education, policy, and law, and experience advocating for children and education reform, I routinely solve complex legal challenges facing educational institutions. I do this by leveraging my mediation skills to foster understanding and find creative solutions. I draw on my experience with Title IX, civil rights compliance, and legislative analysis to navigate complex issues and to ensure equitable and effective outcomes for kids.

What's it like to work with me?

I’m a thoughtful and careful listener. This means listening to what clients say and also to what they are not saying. My greatest strength is getting to the root of the problem, seeing beyond the immediate issue, and solving systemic challenges with thoughtful, long-term solutions that pave the way for sustainable progress. I bring a blend of empathy, creativity, and strategic thinking to every challenge, ensuring that complexities are navigated with a sense of purpose and innovation. My approach is grounded in my mediation background, which aims to transform conflict into cooperation.

After School

My family and I spend a lot of time playing and watching baseball. I love to bake, find amazing hole-in-the-wall restaurants, dance and read all kinds of books. I also enjoy camping and exploring tide pools with my three kids.
