Legal Practice Coaches

I'm a Stanford Law School grad working in-house in business operations at a startup. I previously advised startups at Goodwin Procter and developed product legal strategy at Microsoft. Before making the leap from law to business, I received summer associate offers from the top technology law firms, including Cooley, Fenwick & West, Gunderson Dettmer, and Wilson Sonsini. I also got offers from more traditional biglaw firms, like Skadden, Latham & Watkins, and Kirkland & Ellis. If you're a law student considering technology law, or a law student/lawyer thinking of pursuing a career in business instead, let me help! I can guide you through that decision and help you plan your next steps.

I formerly worked as a Big Law Associate and spent two summers in Big Law at three different multinational firms. In my capacity as Stanford Law School's Asian Pacific Islander Law Student Association Co-President, I mentored numerous law students in the recruiting and interviewing process. My professional background is primarily in public service, but I love thinking through how time in Big Law can help law students accomplish their personal and professional goals. Reach out to me to talk through your law school and Big Law goals!

Prior to moving in-house at a private investment fund (where I currently serve as General Counsel), I spent the first 5-6 years of my career at top law firms like Kirkland & Ellis and Gibson Dunn, where I specialized in complex M&A transactions and corporate governance, particularly in the energy sector. I hold a J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. in Economics from Texas A&M University.
