Biography

I am a litigation attorney at Structure Law Group, LLP. In my role, I support the firm's expanding practice in complex business and commercial litigation. My responsibilities cover a wide array of civil litigation matters, including contract disputes, employment claims, and intellectual property issues. I am involved in all phases of litigation, from conducting legal research and drafting pleadings to engaging in motion practice, formulating discovery strategies, and preparing for trial. I am known for my solid foundation in litigation, meticulous attention to detail, and a pragmatic approach to serving our clients.

Before my tenure at Structure Law Group, I represented plaintiffs in complex wage and hour class actions at an employment litigation firm. I championed the rights of workers in cases related to unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, misclassification of employees, and other widespread labor code infringements. During my law school years, I accumulated a diverse range of legal experiences. I worked at a mass tort litigation firm, an intellectual property litigation boutique, and the in-house legal department of a record label focusing on contract review and drafting.

I earned my Juris Doctor from LMU Loyola Law School, where I was the Chief Articles and Symposia Editor of the Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review. My article on antitrust law and labor protections in the music industry, particularly focusing on the proposed antitrust exemption in the Protect Working Musicians Act, was published in Volume 44.3. It was also honored as the Best Student Article, Readers' Choice by Concurrences. My academic pursuits reflect a keen interest in employment and labor law, particularly as they relate to creative and emerging industries.

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Criminology, with minors in Sociology and Forensic Science, from the University of Toronto. I spent a semester in Sydney, Australia, which broadened my global perspective.
