/My focus

As a member of the Cross-Border Risks team, I help clients navigate investigations and complex immigration and government compliance matters, manage risk, and determine solutions to complex cross-border issues. In that capacity, I assist in the representation of individuals and entities in criminal and regulatory proceedings conducted by various enforcement and regulatory agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the United States Attorneys’ Offices, and the Department of Treasury. My experience includes drafting motions in a federal criminal case and in sovereign and cross-border litigation matters.

Before joining Nixon Peabody, I served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Orelia E. Merchant, District Judge in the Eastern District of New York and the Honorable Alistair E. Newbern, Magistrate Judge in the Middle District of Tennessee, and I began my legal career in the Trial, Investigations, and Securities practice group of a global law firm in New York.

During law school, I was a legal intern in the Division of Enforcement of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a student attorney in the Criminal Law Practice clinic, and an editor of the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law.
