What I'm looking for

I seek a role litigating complex employment matters and conducting workplace investigations at a firm or in-house team that values rigorous advocacy, integrity, and pro bono engagement.

I am an employment litigator with substantial experience representing employers in federal and state court, FINRA arbitrations, and administrative hearings. I handle discrimination, harassment, and retaliation matters and conduct internal workplace investigations for large institutions.

My work includes drafting pleadings and pretrial motions, conducting discovery, preparing witnesses for trial and arbitration, and managing complex investigations into sexual harassment and discrimination. I have represented financial institutions, technology companies, and individual clients in high-stakes matters.

I served as a law clerk to Hon. J. Curtis Joyner, U.S.D.C., Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and hold a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I also have an MFA in Writing and prior teaching experience in academic and business writing.

I am admitted to practice in New York and have been recognized on Thomson Reuters’ Super Lawyers Metro Rising Stars list for 2023, 2024, and 2025. I bring rigorous legal analysis, courtroom-ready advocacy, and a commitment to thorough, fair investigations.
