About me

I am an associate attorney at MM~LAW based in Chicago, where I represent victims of international terrorism and serious human-rights violations in civil actions against state sponsors of terrorism, financial institutions, and corporate actors that profit from mass-atrocity crimes.

I earned my J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law, where I focused on international law, human rights, national security, and counterterrorism. During law school, I co-founded Operation Manna, a nonprofit organization providing direct aid to civilians displaced by conflict and documenting war crimes following Hamas's October 7 attack. I also interned with the Yazidi Legal Network, supporting accountability efforts related to the Yazidi Genocide perpetrated by ISIS. In addition, I co-led a Texas Law and Policy delegation to Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and volunteered as a student attorney and translator for French-speaking asylum seekers through the Texas Pro Se Asylum Clinic.
