About

I was born and raised in Illinois; my hometown is Palatine, a suburb about 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. I am a first-year J.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. I am involved with the Berkeley Journal of Employment & Labor Law and the Berkeley Law and Organizing Collective. My aspiration is to become a union-side labor attorney.

I graduated from UC Berkeley with high distinction in 2025 with bachelor's degrees in mathematics and computer science. My academic interests were in theory and logic, but I spent most of my undergraduate career involved in the practice and research of pedagogy. I was active in UC Berkeley's rich undergraduate computer science teaching community, serving as a teaching assistant for six semesters, doing research in the ACE Lab, and serving as President of Computer Science Mentors, UC Berkeley's largest teaching-focused student organization. Like most in the department, I strongly believed in improving the quality of instruction by raising staffing levels and working conditions for academic workers; as an undergraduate, I organized as a member of UAW 4811, the union of student and academic workers at UC. I have also worked as a staff organizer for the international union, UAW.

I have written and edited the news for The Daily Californian, the independent, student-run newspaper of record for the city of Berkeley. When I can find the time, some of my favorite activities include photography, biking around Berkeley, doing the New York Times crossword, and contributing to free culture projects.
