DMV-based legal scholar & regulatory attorney focusing on disability, the politicization of science, administrative law, and legal history

I am a DC-based legal scholar who writes about disability and medical authority in legal history, administrative law, and public health. Currently, I work as a legal researcher and Senior Policy Attorney at Georgetown University, where I manage projects on disaster medicine and policy. My scholarly research is, by its nature, applied, and I have experience in a variety of professional roles at the nexus between law, public policy, and health, including work for non-profit organizations, government agencies, and legislative bodies.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Temple Beasley School of Law, where I was Lead Articles Editor for Temple Law Review and graduated magna cum laude. My scholarly work has been featured in the Journal of Women, Politics & PolicyNebraska Law Review, the UCLA Disability Law Journal, and Oklahoma Law Review, among others. I am licensed to practice law in DC.
