I thrive on solving puzzles—whether unpacking dense legal concepts, uncovering hidden narratives, or connecting people to ideas that matter. At UC Law San Francisco, I create stories that celebrate aspiring attorneys, professors, and graduates who strive to make our legal system more just, equitable, and aligned with the public good.
Curiosity has always driven me. Growing up in rural Virginia, I loved exploring both physical trails and abstract ideas. That spirit of discovery led me to the Boston Metro Area, where I managed public relations and volunteer operations across 35 towns for a Habitat for Humanity affiliate, creating meaningful community impact.
Pursuing journalism at Emerson College deepened my passion for storytelling. I crafted audio packages, a short video documentary on Iraq’s Olympic rowing team, and stories spotlighting local and global issues. As a reporter and assistant editor at the Medford Transcript, I earned two investigative journalism awards for exposing the conduct of local elected officials. Later, at Courthouse News Service, I covered major federal cases, turning complex legal proceedings into compelling narratives for a wider audience.
Now, at UC Law SF, I focus on showcasing the remarkable work of future lawyers, professors tackling pressing legal questions, and alumni advancing justice in innovative ways. Through these stories, I highlight the human impact of law and the vital role of a fair legal system.
Storytelling connects us to our shared humanity. I believe in its power to illuminate, inspire, and drive change. If you share this passion—or just love a good story—don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
