Before starting my career, I've obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Law at Harvard University. These academic skills were the foundations which helped me to become the go-to person to ask about providing well-researched advice & analysis on legal issues to clients.

Second, I have plenty of experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating legal documents, contracts, and agreements. At DLA Piper, I’ve managed delicate situations related to identifying and mitigating potential legal risks and guide clients accordingly and been successful at meeting approaching deadlines where I had to think quickly on my feet. As the company scaled, I’ve taken increased responsabilities including mentoring and helping newcomers adapt to company culture.

Finally, I am excited about Jones Day's vision and core values. As a meticulous and resilient Legal Counsel, I recognize the importance of working in a company with a dynamic and high-stakes environment.
