My practice areas include Trademarks, Copyrights and Design along with other forms of intellectual property protection. As an author and artist myself, I am passionate about helping creators protect and control their work. After teaching philosophy at the post-secondary level for more than twenty years, I started my legal career as a law clerk at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, then joined the Mason Arts and Entertainment Advocacy Clinic working for clients on copyright and trademark cases. My prior experience and expertise includes the visual and performing arts, graphic design, and written works.
