Personal
I was born and raised in Metro-West Boston, where I attended public schools and swam competitively.
Between college and law school, I served in the Peace Corps. My initial assignment was in Uzbekistan, a country with which I had no familiarity. After months of intensive language training and work in local schools, the Peace Corps was forced to leave the country for political reasons. I ended up starting over again in Transylvania, Romania as a teacher in both Romanian and Hungarian language secondary schools.
Attending Tulane Law school in New Orleans, LA was a unique experience. Much like the city itself, a melange of cultures and peoples, my time was spent between rigorous study and enjoying the city’s unique cultural offerings. When studies were complete, you might have found me at Tipitina’s, the Maple Leaf, City Park, or the Country Club.
I have been working and living in Boston since 2011. In addition to my law practice, I am involved in various civic endeavors and political affairs; I am proud to have received citations from the Boston City Council, MA House of Representatives and MA Senate.
You can reach me by phone or text at 617-807-0949 or via email. I look forward to hearing from you.
