about

I am an attorney in the Los Angeles area with an eye towards social justice issues.

I am currently an Arthur Liman Fellow at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, where my work focuses on the civil rights and liberties of Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian communities as affected by post-9/11 police practices.

I also follow free speech issues on university campuses, particularly as they play out with regard to student activism about U.S. foreign policy and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I obtained my law degree from Yale Law School, where I worked with a team of other students in the Workers and Immigrants Rights Advocacy Clinic to advocate against racial profiling by the East Haven Police Department targeting Latinos.

I studied Rhetoric at UC Berkeley, where I was a member of Students for Justice in Palestine and Cal Students for Equal Rights and a Valid Education (CalSERVE).
