Biography

I am a Section Chief in the Complex Litigation Division of the Washington Attorney General's Office. Since joining the Complex Litigation Division in 2018, I have worked on cases seeking to hold opioid distributors accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic, to block President Trump's attempted seizure of federal funds to build a border wall, to protect access to medication abortion, and to defend common-sense gun control measures, among others. Prior to joining the Attorney General's Office, I worked at private firms in Chicago and Seattle, handling complex civil matters and criminal defense, and clerked on the Alaska Supreme Court.
