Notable Past Work During my Legal Education: In late 2013 I was on a team that successfully secured a preliminary injunction for a pro bono client in a U.S. and New Jersey Constitutional Substantive Due Process and Equal Protections case. I have also served as an aide for the late U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg. And in 2010 I worked as a researcher at the US State Department, where I helped the State Department better assess and serve the needs of Ambassadors' families and compiled a report with feedback submitted directly from spouses and partners of U.S. Ambassadors.

Specialized Education: - I hold a Life Sciences sector Compliance Certificate. - I attended a two-week intensive program in Buenos Aires on the legal dimensions of doing business in South America for which the main foci were transnational contract negotiation and drafting, trade law, and an overview of Civil Law practice. - In early Summer 2012 I participated in a five-week E.U. law and Biotechnology Law-specialized program for law students, which took me to both Brussels and Geneva.

My Personal Life: I have been involved in Rowing and Crew Sports since college and am a vegetarian; in fact I am nearly vegan. I have lived abroad in Europe for various stretches in my twenties. Additionally, I am interested in Cosmology and Astronomy.
