About Me
Launching a neighborhood business at the age of 11, coding for a defense contractor on missile and satellite systems in college, and early victories in front of a jury in my legal career helped shape my unique perspective. A longtime client described me as "tenacious, creative, and business-oriented in finding solutions to complex legal challenges." I provide strategic counsel to facilitate company growth by embracing risk and providing guardrails. I am a trusted partner who my clients and board colleagues can approach with ease no matter how difficult the problem. I have served as outside yet trusted “in-house” counsel for companies, including via secondment at a Fortune 500 technology company leading its litigation and IP departments.
The most challenging and rewarding work in my legal career has been representing my pro bono clients. My first pro bono client was a Mexican transgender immigrant with HIV who was seeking asylum. I was able to help her obtain a favorable outcome and and was recognized by the State Bar of California and the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
I serve on the boards of several companies (for profit and non-profit) including:
I previously led an affinity bar association called the South Asian Bar Association of North America as President, and later chaired its National Advisory Council for several years.
Most importantly, I am a partner to my spouse of 13 years and a mother of two amazing children - a 8 year old whose creativity is unrivaled and a 3 year old who is already showing signs of a born leader.
