I'm interested in social justice topics often covered in NLADA workshops, such as poverty, the school-to-prison pipeline, medical-legal partnerships, homelessness, and human trafficking. I am a client Board member of the Mass. Legal Assistance Corp., and Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association. I have long been interested in sociology and psychology, and work as an IT consultant and project manager, refurbishing computers for clients at a social service agency (Advocates, Framingham, MA), where I used to receive services for mental health. I have a hobby of informally studying foreign languages.
