I have been working in the legal field for over eight years, beginning as a paralegal in civil litigation firms. It was in this role that I grasped the fundamentals of civil procedure, communicating with clients and opposing counsel, and gained familiarity with all stages of litigation. My communicative talents were fostered in this environment and I uncovered an aptitude and excitement for the legal profession. I was encouraged to further my career and attend law school, which I completed in May 2020. Throughout law school I was exposed to various areas of the law such as Family Law, Criminal Law, Landlord Tenant and Commercial Law, through internships with judges and private firms.

Greetings, I hold a Ph.D. and I am a seasoned patent analyst, 3D modeler, inventor and product designer in New York. I have provided technical writing and illustrations for over 100 patents for 'pro se' inventors who represent themselves to the patent office. I hold a paralegal certificate and I often work under the supervision of attorneys, collaborate with engineers and innovators. I can go from design work to reverse engineering (using scanners), to prototype printing (8k resolution, resin and filament 3D printers), to fabrication drawings. I have also drafted user manuals and technical documentation and perform artificial intelligence prompt engineering. I am also a scientific author and illustrator specializing in technical writing, medical illustrations, statistics, grant writing, CAD drawings, proof-of-concept designs, as well as parametric mechanical designs. I utilize subscriptions for both AutoCADLT and Fusion360 routinely. I only accept a limited number of projects at a time so that I can maintain the quality and quick turnaround my clients have come to expect. Please know that I am NOT an attorney OR a registered patent agent, and I do NOT dispense legal advice or represent ANYONE to the USPTO - I only write technical content for those who chose to file themselves and my work is educational in nature. Thank you.
