Before law school, she was a paralegal in the commercial licensing department of a business intelligence company, where she drafted and negotiated software licensing contracts with private and public entities. This experience still largely informs her practice today, as she communicates closely with clients to understand their positions and advance their goals through negotiation and advocacy.
