    I am an attorney with experience in both civil and criminal litigation, political campaigns, political work generally, working in manufacturing, and product reviews.

    I am a licensed attorney and currently work for legal aid. Working for legal aid has been an extremely rewarding experience, but it leaves me with a great deal more free time than I would normally have. I consider myself an ambitious and motivated person and am always looking for an opportunity to apply my skills and advance my career. While I am certainly open to any work within the legal field, I am not limiting myself to only those opportunities. My work experience has provided me with an extremely flexible skill set that would be applicable to a broad range of tasks. As an attorney, I normally am expected to work on several projects at once each constrained by its own deadline. I have excellent interpersonal skills as I regularly interact with dozens of people every day from a wide range of backgrounds. When I am not advocating for my clients in a courtroom, I am in my office drafting legal arguments for them. This has helped me hone excellent verbal and written communication skills. I have experience working both as a solo practitioner and more recently, as a member of a team of ten attorneys. I am a self-starter and a team player. If you have a project, I would be happy to discuss how my skills would beneficial to completing it. I am open to any opportunity. I look forward to working with you on whatever and assisting you with whatever your needs may be.
