I entered law school later than many, about six years after graduating from undergrad. During those years I wore many hats, from being a youth pastor to running background checks. I chose to pursue a career in law because I saw how the criminal justice system could harm employment and housing prospects years after justice had been served.

I graduated from New England Law | Boston on the Dean’s List. Additionally, I was on the Public Service Honor Roll for completing over twenty-five hours of volunteer legal work during the academic year. This was accomplished by my position as a Team Lead in the CORI Initiative which helps to seal criminal records to help clients secure employment and housing.

After graduating I began my full-time career with Ruane Attorneys working on Wrongful Conviction cases where I am able to defend the rights of our clients and correct the wrongs of the criminal justice system.

Working for Ruane Attorneys has allowed me to achieve my goal of helping those ensnared in a criminal justice system that can often leave you feeling isolated and afraid. I am able to help those who feel trapped in the system and be a voice for those who feel the system has taken their own.
