Prior to law school, Tatiana worked in the film industry, on both the creative and business sides. She personally understands the challenges that players in the industry face and weaves her experience into her legal practice.
During law school, Tatiana focused her studies on the intersection of law and technology, including data privacy and security, privileges applicable to data, intellectual property, the Fourth Amendment, digital surveillance, and computer crime. She led Privacy Law at Berkeley, a group for students interested in data privacy, security, and innovations. Tatiana also spent a semester at the Samuelson Law and Technology Clinic, where she researched a wide range of topics related to technology, surveillance, and access to privileged data. To hone her practical skills, Tatiana competed in three moot courts, including a cybersecurity moot court, and wrote six briefs. She also donated nearly 100 hours to pro bono matters under the supervision of licensed attorneys.
As a summer associate at a national law firm, Tatiana authored a brief that resulted in the appellate court siding with the client without oral argument. She also conducted legal research on a wide range of federal and state issues.
