WORK HISTORY
Contributing Writer @Conduct Detrimental The Sports Law Intersection
Writing articles focusing on law issues as they arise in the Sports industry. Thus far, I\'ve written articles on breach of contract with shoe sponsors, sexual assault done by a college athlete, NBA health/benefits fraud, and NIL as it pertains to high school athletes being featured in a Netflix docu-series. As of August 2022, I assumed the role of lead lacrosse writer, though my articles can and will exceed that scope as permitted by the team.

I also contribute to Conduct Detrimental, a leading sports law blog and podcast, where I write about the legal intersections of sports, business, and culture.Prior to practicing IP and business exclusively, I handled humanitarian, family, and employment-based immigration matters, assisting clients with various petitions/applications and navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration and other administrative processes.Whether it’s forming an entity, protecting a brand, or structuring a deal, I bring a practical and creative approach grounded in legal knowledge and real-world experience. I’m always open to connecting with other professionals, collaborators, and creatives building something meaningful.
