About
I bring a wide variety of legal experience to Welch Law LLC, as I have handled matters in personal injury, bankruptcy, sports law, probation & parole, and more. I also serve as a Legislative Aide at the Maryland State Senate, for which I provide legal advice on proposed regulations and assist a Senator in the Judicial Proceedings Committee. During law school, I served as a Student Attorney for the Juvenile Justice Project Clinic, for which I provided representation to inmates for parole hearings. I graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law in May 2017 and swore into the Maryland Bar in December 2017. I graduated with Honors from Towson University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies in May 2013. As a law student, I served as a Fellow for the Center of International & Comparative Law, in which I clerked for attorneys in Guantanamo Bay detainee matters, provided legal aid in Greek refugee camps, and published amici briefs and policy papers for International Courts and Non-governmental organizations. I also served as a Teaching Assistant, for which I conducted weekly lectures on legal writing and citation rules. I was born in Athens, Greece and moved to Bethesda, Maryland at 10 years old. I joined Welch Law, LLC as a partner in 2018. I am fluent in English and Greek, and have attained mid-advanced proficiency in Spanish, which I studied as a minor at Towson University.
