Law is more than rules written on a page — it is a living promise of fairness, dignity, and accountability. Throughout my legal career, I have been guided by a commitment to equity and the belief that the law should protect, not intimidate. I see the law as a human-centered framework, designed to uplift communities and safeguard their voices, especially those too often silenced.
As a lawyer, educator, and former associate dean, I have witnessed how legal systems can both empower and oppress, and I believe it is our responsibility to question, challenge, and reform those systems when they fall short. Justice cannot be a privilege for the few; it must remain a fundamental right for all.
My approach is rooted in compassion, critical thinking, and courage — values I believe every advocate should carry. I strive to engage with complex legal questions not only with a sharp mind but also with a deep sense of empathy.
