Personal Statement
I have been with my current firm as a litigation associate in the Washington, D.C. office for the past five years. I have represented clients in federal and state courts in various complex civil litigation matters, with an emphasis on consumer and product liability actions.
I am highly committed to pro bono work. Among other things, I have successfully represented plaintiffs at trial for undocumented women seeking temporary visas under the Violence Against Women Act.
I am now looking for an opportunity at a leading firm that will enable me to focus on different litigation matters.
I look forward to hearing from firms that can provide me with this platform. I am sure together, we can be highly successful.
