Internet, Technology, & Privacy Lawyer

About Me

I am a graduate of the Boston University School of Law, where I focused my study on privacy in the digital age, free speech and the internet, legal removals on the internet, and cutting edge technology law issues. I have worked in legal departments in-house, as a student-clinician in the Technology Law Clinic, and as a remote contractor for the Future of Privacy Forum with the Youth & Education Privacy Project. Before law school, I graduated from Adrian College with a B.A. in German and Philosophy.

Wikimedia Interests

I am committed to advancing the Wikimedia mission any way that I can. As someone who is fluent in a second language I am equipped to help translate Wikipedia pages. I am new to the translation part of Wikipedia, so please feel free to reach out to me if you are an experienced Wikipedia translator.

In my professional career I aim to shape internet and technology policy in order to make the internet a safer and more trustworthy space. I am particularly interested in the way that the Wikimedia Foundation advances the free knowledge and open source movement in a constantly changing digital environment.
