What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in communications, technology, data privacy, regulatory, or appellate law where I can apply legal research, writing, and policy analysis to complex matters.

I've supported regulatory strategy at the FCC’s Office of International Affairs and SES Satellites, analyzing foreign telecom rules, satellite regulation, spectrum policy, broadcast licensing, and international communications developments.

At Wiley Rein, I supported more than 75 telecommunications, litigation, government contracts, and pro bono matters, preparing filings across circuit and district courts. As a student attorney in the Federal Appellate Immigration Clinic, I research appellate error, analyze administrative records, draft an opening brief, and develop arguments involving jurisdiction, due process, and evidentiary issues. I also conduct comparative research on international human rights, constitutional law, and religious law as a research assistant.
