What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my impact as a health-focused litigator, working closely with healthcare providers on complex disputes while strengthening compliance and risk strategy through careful, client-centered advocacy.

I’m a Massachusetts Associate Attorney representing healthcare providers in medical malpractice litigation in both state and federal courts. I advise clients on liability exposure, litigation strategy, and dispute resolution, and I serve as a primary client contact for regulatory notices, settlement demands, and Board of Registration complaints.

I manage all phases of civil litigation across multiple matters—driving discovery, coordinating experts, and handling motion practice under competing deadlines. I also bring experience from my health law and corporate counsel externships, including drafting and negotiating commercial agreements (MSAs, data processing agreements, and clinical collaboration agreements) and identifying compliance and policy risks through clear, actionable recommendations.
