Working at the intersection of law, medicine, and health policy.
A biomedical sciences graduate from Texas A&M and a J.D. candidate at UC Law SF, I focus on the legal systems that shape who gets to be healthy — and on whose terms.

About Me
I came to law through medicine. Studying biomedical sciences and working in healthcare administration, I saw how often the barriers to a patient’s health had little to do with clinical care — and everything to do with the systems around it: reimbursement rules, documentation requirements, and policies that decide who gets treated and how well.
At HealthPoint, a federally qualified health center, I supported senior leadership and watched physicians spend as much time meeting regulatory demands as caring for patients. I also saw new tools — ambient clinical listening, risk-stratification models — outpace the laws meant to govern them, raising hard questions about consent, privacy, and bias. Those gaps are where I want to work.
At UC Law SF, I’m focused on health law, regulatory policy, and bioethics — drawn to its Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy and its Medical-Legal Partnership for Seniors Clinic, where students confront the social conditions that drive poor health. I’ll document that work here as it develops.
