I'm a lawyer. These days, I work as an in-house counsel for fintech companies, where I advise on laws relating to payments, financial services, and banking. In my current role, I lead product legal for the Americas for Airwallex, a Singapore-based payments company. Earlier in my career, I served in government, working as chief counsel for a senator and as general counsel of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy. I began my career as a litigator at a litigation boutique and then a large law firm. After law school, I clerked for a judge on the federal appeals court.

My experience in the Religion Department has definitely influenced my career. For one thing, people love to ask about my religion degree in interviews. And the judge I clerked for, a self-described autodidact polymath, loves to hire humanities majors for law clerks and, in fact, is known for giving his clerkship applicants a "general-knowledge quiz," which skews to the humanities. One question in my quiz was to name my favorite work of philosophy, and I wrote down The Varieties of Religious Experience, which the judge asked me about in my interview.
