Welcome to my profile! As a current JD candidate at UCLA School of Law, I bring a wealth of experience and insight into the legal field. My journey includes being a 1L Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Scholar and gaining hands-on experience as a Summer Associate at Hogan Lovells, with exposure to in-house legal work at IBM. During my undergraduate years at UC Santa Barbara, I was actively involved in the admissions committee, which honed my skills in evaluating applications and understanding what makes a candidate stand out. I am passionate about helping aspiring legal professionals navigate their career paths and law school applications. Let's connect to strategize your journey into the legal world!

I have received BigLaw offers from multiple V10 firms.

I have worked as a lawyer for over 10 years and as a law school admissions coach for just as long. I know exactly what it takes to craft a stand-out application to set a candidate apart amidst a sea of immaculate numbers.

I'm a Stanford Law School grad working in-house in business operations at a startup. I previously advised startups at Goodwin Procter and developed product legal strategy at Microsoft. Before making the leap from law to business, I received summer associate offers from the top technology law firms, including Cooley, Fenwick & West, Gunderson Dettmer, and Wilson Sonsini. I also got offers from more traditional biglaw firms, like Skadden, Latham & Watkins, and Kirkland & Ellis. If you're a law student considering technology law, or a law student/lawyer thinking of pursuing a career in business instead, let me help! I can guide you through that decision and help you plan your next steps.

I've navigated legal roles in several sectors, most notably at top big law firms. I successfully recruited across 4 major metro markets across a gambit of big law firms and have unique insight into managing the application process beyond the schools career services. I've helped students plan and go through this process as early as 0L through 3Ls, with strong results at market firms. Further, I always stress thinking about more than the names. The calculus for where you end up is unique for each individual and I genuinely believe each person needs to take a step back and figure out where is the right fit for them, which can be incredibly hard to do while at the law school environment with so many external factors weighing. I also realize that the support you get for private sector recruiting can be incredibly varied depending on your law school and love to serve as the support you need. It can be tough when you recruit to a market outside of your school's geographic area or a number of other challenges that we can tackle together and lead your to success.

Welcome to my profile! With a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School and extensive experience in legal practice, I am well-equipped to guide you through your legal career journey. As a former BigLaw associate who's done a significant amount of callbacks and interviews with multiple offers and helped others land roles in BigLaw, I have a deep understanding of the legal landscape. Let's work together to achieve your legal career goals!

As a recent Stanford Law School JD graduate and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, I bring a range of experience in public service legal roles as a law student and new attorney, including with the Department of Justice, private public interest firms, and federal clerkships. My diverse legal background, from clerking to interning with the House Foreign Affairs Committee Legal Counsel, equips me with a deep understanding of the legal field. I am passionate about helping aspiring legal professionals navigate their career paths, offering insights into law school applications, internships, and clerkships. Let's work together to achieve your legal career goals—reach out to start your journey today! What's the process? It depends on your goals and preferences, but I typically like to do a 15-30 minute initial meeting to understand your background, goals, and priorities. We identify tasks to accomplish and set deadlines for each, taking a step-by-step approach that feels manageable. Clients can send written drafts anytime, and I provide written feedback within 48 hours. I'm always available to answer pop-up questions and support. We schedule follow-up meetings as needed.

I coach lawyers and legal professionals from direct, lived experience across multiple sectors of the profession. I began my career in Big Law, served as a criminal prosecutor in government, and later worked as in-house corporate counsel at Amazon. I also spent years in legal recruitment and executive search, advising firms and companies on hiring, performance, and advancement decisions. I understand the pressure of billable hours, client demands, internal politics, and the unrelenting expectation of responsiveness that defines modern legal practice. My coaching combines strategic career expertise with a holistic approach that considers the whole person — not just the résumé. Legal careers affect identity, relationships, health, and long-term wellbeing. Having personally navigated the intensity of round-the-clock client service and high-stakes environments, I know that sustainability matters. Wellness practices were not a luxury in my own career; they were essential to functioning at a high level. I help clients clarify both professional ambitions and personal priorities, make aligned decisions about partnership, in-house transitions, leadership, or pivots, and build careers that are not only successful on paper but sustainable in real life.
