About Me

I moved to San Francisco to pursue my dream of becoming a trial attorney. At USF School of Law I'm focused on data privacy, digital civil liberties, and the constitutional questions raised by AI and surveillance technology. I'm the 1L Representative for the Criminal Law Society and the Privacy Law Club, and I recently participated in the Contra Costa District Attorney's Justice 101 program to sharpen my litigation and oral advocacy skills. This summer I'll be gaining international legal experience as an intern at Baker McKenzie's Hanoi office.

My path to law ran through technology and sustainability. At ClimateTrade I analyzed blockchain-tracked carbon credits and the regulatory frameworks governing offset markets — work that revealed how much legal accountability matters when powerful institutions go unchecked. At OceanManager I translated complex technical systems into legally responsive features, learning firsthand that technology is never neutral and that the law determines who it serves.

Today I'm especially drawn to the intersection of AI, privacy, and environmental accountability. The same systems promising to transform industries are concentrating power, eroding civil liberties, and generating staggering environmental costs that the tech sector has been slow to reckon with. I want to be part of the legal movement that holds those systems accountable — in the courtroom.
