Bio

I was drawn to Legal Services of Central New York by its mission to change law, policy, and systems to promote equity and create pathways out of poverty. Prior to law school, I served as a political operative and consultant—work I began doing driven by a passion to see our government work better for everyone. While in law school, I served as a student attorney with the Syracuse University College of Law Criminal Defense Clinic (CDC), representing indigent defendants in Syracuse City Court and Geddes Town Court. Prior to my work at LSCNY, the services I provided on behalf CDC clients were the most rewarding and fulfilling services I had yet provided in my legal career. I look forward to assisting countless others most in need of legal representation.
