Judicial Law Clerk at United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
I am a recent graduate of Harvard Law School currently clerking on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  At HLS, I served as an Executive Editor of the Harvard Law Review, a Senior Articles Editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and the Executive Vice President of the Harvard Federalist Society.  My legal experience during law school includes serving as a law clerk in the Tax Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California and as a student prosecutor in the Essex County District Attorney’s Office in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Prior to law school, I worked as an educator, serving recent immigrant and refugee children as a mathematics teacher in Oakland, California.  I also worked in the residential real estate industry in Silicon Valley.

I obtained my bachelor's degree in mathematics and statistics at the University of California, Davis, and later obtained a master’s degree in urban education and literacy.
