I loved my time in the Princeton Religion Department!  It taught me to question, think critically, and value the stories that different populations tell to understand and explain their realities.  After Princeton I lived and worked in New York City for several years before going to law school at the University of Michigan.  After law school, I took a one-year clerkship with Judge Douglas Ginsburg on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and then a second clerkship with Justice Stephen G. Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court.   Since then I’ve been practicing law, first at Mayer Brown LLP and now at Winston & Strawn LLP, both international law firms.   I’m an appellate lawyer, handling appeals and important legal issues in large-scale litigation.   I’ve argued appeals in a wide range of cases and in federal and state courts across the country, including in the U.S. Supreme Court.   Being a litigator is a great fit for someone with a liberal arts background, as I get to move from subject to subject in my cases—from patent litigation to securities fraud lawsuits to class actions and mass torts to our successful challenge to the NCAA’s amateurism rules.
