ABOUT ME
I am an experienced professional recently out of graduate school. Most of my career has been in the legal world. I have practiced law, worked as a policy analyst, taught legal studies, and completed a PhD in law. I am also fascinated by mathematics and computing. I've recently learned a few coding languages and created several sample projects, including this website. As well, I'm a creative writer and electronic music composer with several works at various stages of development. An experienced meditator and mindfulness teacher, I have a passion for personal growth and wellness, and a passion for philosophy, both Eastern and Western.
I am an MBTI type INFJ and Enneagram type 4w5. I am thoughtful, empathic, imaginative, sensitive, and thorough. I thrive in contexts that provide a lot of autonomy, emphasize collaboration and cooperation, reward innovation and unconventional thinking, and require the highest standards of ethical integrity. If you are looking to work with someone who has a wide variety of skills and interests, who always gravitates towards the big picture, who thinks creatively, and who excels with both people and technology, then I might be who you are looking for.
