Reporting on housing, courts, and the criminal system. Bylines at NPR, Current Affairs, and other outlets. JD Candidate at Yale Law School.
I am a JD candidate at Yale Law School specializing in criminal law, tenant rights, and trial advocacy. I'm also a freelance writer—most recently, I worked at NPR on the Supreme Court beat.
Before law school, I worked as a paralegal at a real estate law firm and did tenant organizing. I've continued that work in New Haven, where I am a member of the Connecticut Tenants Union. I also represent tenants through Yale's Housing Clinic. This year, I will brief and argue an eviction-related case before the Connecticut Supreme Court.
I graduated in 2023 with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia, while working nights as a bartender and stand-up comedian.
