Practice
I am a lawyer working at the intersection of technology, business, and governance. Over the past four years, I have worked both as a technology transactions lawyer and as in-house counsel at a healthcare AI startup.
I started my career as a corporate lawyer advising tech and life sciences start-ups on fundraising, market entry, regulatory compliance, and other early-stage legal questions. Many of the deals I worked on raised questions at the intersection of technology, data privacy, intellectual property, and healthcare regulation. Wanting to see these questions play out more directly in practice, I moved in-house to Qure.ai. There, I worked on strategic partnerships to deploy radiology AI systems across global markets. While much of the public conversation around AI was focused on abstract debates, we were navigating questions about data governance, model training rights, bias risks, and evolving regulatory expectations across jurisdictions in real time.
These experiences introduced me legal questions that continue to emerge as technology evolves faster than the regulatory systems designed to govern it and shaped how I think about technology and law today. In practice, commercial partnerships often shape how technologies are actually deployed, sometimes long before formal regulation catches up.
Berkeley
I am currently pursuing an LL.M. at UC Berkeley School of Law, with a certificate of specialization in Law & Technology, graduating in May 2026. At Berkeley, I have been exploring questions around AI and data governance through both research and writing. As a Research Assistant for Prof. Lothar Determann, I have contributed updates to a treatise on California Privacy Law. I am also a fellow with the Berkeley AI Safety Initiative, where I research questions related to AI governance, safety, and risk. I also occasionally contribute writing for AI @ Berkeley Law.
Across private practice, in-house work, and now Berkeley, I have found myself returning to the same kinds of problems: the ones without a clear answer yet, where technology, business, and governance are all moving at once.
