“At the intersection of law and culture, I ask: who owns creativity — and what does the answer reveal?”
I'm a fourth-year student at UC Berkeley pursuing a BA in Legal Studies and a BA in Media Studies. My academic work focuses on the legal frameworks that govern creative industries — intellectual property, consumer regulation, and digital privacy — and how those frameworks interact with culture, identity, and expression.
Through my work at Olivier & Schreiber PC, Partners Law Group, and the ACLU of Northern California, I've built hands-on experience across employment discrimination, patent disclosures, and civil rights research — always returning to the same question: how does law shape what stories get told, and who gets to tell them?
Outside the library, I spend time antiquing for vintage textiles, sewing my own garments, reading across disciplines, and finding the best coffee in Berkeley. The intersection of craft, aesthetics, and regulation runs through everything I do.
Fashion is one of the few industries where culture, commerce, creativity, and identity collide daily — and where law has historically lagged behind. That gap is exactly where I want to work: not just to enforce rights, but to help shape frameworks that reflect how creative work actually moves through the world. I'm particularly drawn to financial ethics, digital privacy law, and the regulatory side of fashion and consumer markets.
