Head of Legal
Here to Build
I grew up in Los Angeles but took a leap of faith to move to New York for Cornell—a decision that changed the trajectory of my life. After graduation, I spent 2 years in rural Yunnan, China teaching English through Teach for China, an experience that deepened my appreciation for culture, language, and global connection. I later became a lawyer in New York, working at major firms before stepping into my current role leading U.S. legal for a Japanese asset manager. Recently, I’ve been diving into coding, teaching myself Python and experimenting with AI-powered development tools like Replit and Claude Code. In my free time, I’m a language enthusiast with a Duolingo streak of 1,000+ days—proof that curiosity might be my most consistent habit.
The project is intended to allow lawyers to create playbooks which are applied against uploaded documents, thereby helping with quick review of documents.
In a world where many lawyers are still paid according to billable hours and where legalese is the norm, inefficiency is not a bug, but a tenet built into the system.
