Professional

About

I am a lawyer who helps small businesses, nonprofits, and startups with a wide variety of agreements, corporate formation and governance, investor acquisition, and asset purchase and sale. ​ I earned my BA from Tulane University and my JD from the University of Chicago Law School. Before starting my own practice, I worked at an international law firm in New York City. ​ Outside of work, I am on the board of the nonprofit Seattle REconomy (which runs the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries) and I enjoy gardening, baking bread, and outdoor activities with my spouse and two dogs.
