/My focus

With more than 14 years in the field, and experience at every level of the eDiscovery function, I bring both hands-on technical depth and a practical understanding of how attorneys actually work.

I am known for applying AI and analytics where they make a measurable difference, including technology-assisted review, conceptual analytics, and emerging generative AI tools, to reduce review burden, control cost, and get the right facts to case teams faster. I also build custom workflows and prototype tools when an off-the-shelf solution falls short, treating each matter as a problem to design around rather than a process to repeat.

Just as important is the team itself. I lead a growing group of eDiscovery specialists who combine deep platform understanding with a willingness to experiment, and who are increasingly strategic partners to case teams rather than a back-office function. That group is a real differentiator for Nixon Peabody's clients: faster insight, defensible process, and people who know how to make new technology work in practice. My vision remains the same one that drew me to the field: attorneys spending their time on strategy and advocacy, with organized, relevant information at their fingertips.

I hold CEDS and Brainspace certifications, am an active ACEDS member, and serve on the AAA-ICDR Innovation & Technology Council.

/Looking ahead

The next era of eDiscovery will be defined by firms that pair AI with sound legal judgment, and I am building Nixon Peabody's team to lead in that space. My focus is on responsible AI adoption, a streamlined and well-governed technology and vendor stack, and training that gives attorneys confidence in the tools working on their behalf.
