I believe that legal services should be accessible, understandable, and grounded in respect for every individual. To me, the practice of law isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about empowering people with the clarity and support they need to move forward with confidence.
My practice is built on the idea that everyone deserves access to high‑quality legal guidance, regardless of their background, identity, or lived experience. I am committed to creating a space where clients from multicultural communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of all identities feel welcome, heard, and represented.
Clear communication, practical advice, and genuine collaboration guide my work. I strive to meet clients where they are, explain legal concepts in a way that feels approachable, and tailor my services to fit their unique circumstances. Above all, my goal is to make the law feel less intimidating and more like a tool that truly belongs to everyone.
I provide practical, business‑minded legal support for companies at every stage of growth—from startups and small businesses to established organizations. My approach focuses on helping clients build strong foundations, navigate day‑to‑day legal questions, and make informed decisions that support long‑term success. Whether you’re forming a new venture, restructuring, or seeking guidance on operational issues, I offer clear advice tailored to your goals
With experience navigating the unique regulatory and contractual landscape of the telecommunications industry, I support clients through a wide range of telecom transactions—including complex, multi‑stakeholder global projects. My background includes extensive work on subsea cable construction, international telecom infrastructure, and other large‑scale network development initiatives. I am skilled at bringing disparate groups together in negotiations, helping align differing priorities and perspectives to reach workable, forward‑looking agreements and projects. I assist clients by drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, evaluating regulatory considerations, and structuring partnerships and services in a rapidly evolving industry. My goal is to make even the most technical telecom matters understandable and manageable so clients can move forward with confidence.
I assist nonprofit organizations with the legal support they need to operate effectively and focus on their mission. This includes entity formation, governance, compliance, and ongoing operational guidance. I understand the distinct challenges nonprofits face and work closely with boards, founders, and executive teams to ensure their organizations are structured responsibly and positioned to thrive.
Clear, well‑structured contracts are essential to any successful business relationship. I help clients draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements of all types, always with an eye toward clarity, practicality, and long‑term risk management. Whether you’re establishing new partnerships, securing services, or protecting your business assets, I work to ensure your agreements reflect your priorities and support your business objectives.
In addition to my 30 years of experience practicing law, I am also an avid musician. I play flute, piano, guitar, I sing and I’m looking forward to diving back into the oboe. I am also a budding composer. Outside of the law and music, I enjoy hiking, camping and outdoor photography with my husband and friends. I have two grown children that I am inordinately proud of and two rather spoiled all-black cats.
