What I'm looking for

I prepare court processes, conduct legal research, and provide oral advocacy in commercial and family law matters. My work also includes policy analysis, tax-return correspondence, board resolutions, and court-proceeding preparation.
Outside legal practice, I lead styling work at Style Sail and bring sustained interests in gender rights, environmental sustainability, writing, volunteering, and fashion.
