Patent Agent

I believe in embracing change. Inspired by the intersection of disciplines, I love redesigning the delivery of legal services. By combining technology with human-centered design, I lead our team in building modern technologies for litigation professionals.

My entire career has had a running thread of making legal work more efficient by leveraging technology. I have been designing and building legal tech since my early days in patent litigation. Today, I combine my experience in knowledge management, operations, and data analytics with my training in management of technology to guide Cloud Court in our journey to modernize litigation. 

When I'm not geeking out over legal tech, you'll find me discovering new music or playing board games with my family.
