I have worked in personal injury litigation since August 2022, in practice areas including transport accidents, workplace injuries, public liability and medical negligence. I am passionate about getting results for people who have suffered injury. To that end, I rely on my attention to detail, and my focus on client communication in preparing claims for success. I strongly believe that people who are injured deserve to be advised as to the full extent of their rights and entitlements, and to have a passionate lawyer going to bat for them. I have initiated proceedings in both the County Court and the Supreme Court, and have achieved excellent results for my clients. I derive immense satisfaction from seeing a deserving client get appropriately compensated.
I am from the United States, having grown up in New York, Maryland, and New Jersey. I studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Pennsylvania State University. I subsequently attended Griffith University on the Gold Coast, and completed a Juris Doctorate in 2023. I undertook Practical Legal Training at Leo Cussen Institute, and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria in October 2023.

Huge shoutout to the team at LHD lawyers. They really care about you, and a special thanks to Samuel Schwartz for his role in the determination of my impairment benefit. I wouldn’t want to be represented by anyone else.
