After graduating from UC Berkeley in 2006 I clerked for Chief Judge Fuste in the District of Puerto Rico from 2006 to 2008 for Judge Jon O. Newman on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals from 2008 to 2010. I have also worked in organizations serving women and children who experience domestic violence and in the independent film industry.
My research focuses on the intersection of race, class, and economics, including health disparities related to food and debt disparities. My work looks at social, cultural, political, and economic factors as they interact with legal process. I am also investigating the application of United States federal law in the territory of Puerto Rico.
