What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise while contributing to meaningful social justice initiatives.

As a dedicated legal professional with a Juris Doctor from Emory University School of Law, I have honed my expertise in various areas of law, including corporate, criminal, and civil rights. My experience spans from serving as a Senior Associate Attorney, where I drafted petitions for the U.S. Supreme Court, to my current role as a Contract Legal Expert at Scale AI, where I train AI models to ensure legal accuracy and ethical practices.

Throughout my career, I have successfully litigated complex cases, including federal appeals and civil rights lawsuits, advocating for the rights of vulnerable populations. My commitment to public service is evident through my work with the Legal Aid Society, where I represented dependent children, and my involvement in pro bono initiatives like the VALOR Project. I am passionate about leveraging my legal skills to make a meaningful impact in the community.
