I am an attorney (admitted to the bar in the District of Columbia) and a judicial law clerk for a judge in American Samoa for the 2023-2024 term. Next, I will clerk for a judge in Wilmington, Delaware, for the 2024-2025 term.

In May 2023, I graduated from SMU Dedman School of Law, where I received the Sarah McQuillen Tran Award and the "M" Award. In law school, I served as the managing editor of The Year in Review at the SMU International Law Review Association, published my case note in The International Lawyer, competed in the Thomas Tang Moot Court competition, and worked as a teaching assistant for legal writing and research assistant for three law professors. In addition, I gained practical internship experience in all three branches of the federal government as a judicial extern for Senior District Judge A. Joe Fish of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas; a summer law clerk for the Judiciary Committee for the U.S. House of Representatives; a legal intern for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Office of Chair Charlotte Burrows; a legal intern for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of General Counsel; an intern for the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders; and an intern for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

I completed my undergraduate degree (magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa) at Southern Methodist University and my Master of Public Administration, Master of Urban Planning, and Master of Public Policy at the Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California.
