I am a proud 2001 graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy with more than 18 years of legal experience and am excited to bring expertise and enthusiasm to my alma mater to serve as Co-Director of the Georgia Tech Law, Science, and Technology Program! After graduating from Syracuse University College of Law in 2005, I have experience with several large Atlanta based corporate law firms, founding and serving as vice-president and general counsel of a startup company, sitting on the board of directors of several non-profit organizations, and, perhaps most importantly, I have been coaching the nationally ranked GT Mock Trial team since 2007. While I have been fortunate to have a diverse and rewarding legal profession, my long-term goal has always been to pursue a full-time career in education, and this is indeed a dream come true at my beloved Georgia Tech!​
