I've argued criminal appeals before Maryland’s highest court and drafted legislation across major legal areas.

I've handled direct appeals, applications for leave to appeal, and postconviction litigation for the Maryland Office of the Attorney General’s Criminal Appeals Division. I briefed and argued constitutional criminal procedure, statutory interpretation, and trial-evidence cases, including successful arguments before the Supreme Court of Maryland.

Previously, I drafted legislation and advised legislative committees at the Department of Legislative Services, working with legislators on labor, business, criminal, and transportation law.

My appellate and trial-court clerkships built my foundation in researching and writing opinions, analyzing civil and criminal legal issues, and producing substantive bench memoranda.
