About Me
I graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 2021. I’m admitted to practice law in both New York and Massachusetts. In my spare time, I enjoy following collegiate and professional sports while writing about emerging issues in sports law.
Work
I’m a third-year labor/employment associate with Nixon Peabody and a member of the firm’s higher education and sports and stadium law teams. My first job after law school, was a two-year comprehensive fellowship with the Office of the General Counsel at Northeastern University. I have regularly contributed to the sports law website Conduct Detrimental providing analysis on Title IX, the collegiate athlete NIL landscape, NBA player contract holdouts, & more.
2023 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference
I had the opportunity to attend the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on March 3 — March 4, 2023. A myriad of prominent speakers were featured on the panels including Brad Stevens, Sue Bird, DeMaurice Smith, Billy Beane, and more.
