About
I'm a commercial and technology attorney with in-house experience at a leading global cloud services provider, where I support SaaS, vendor, and enterprise agreements across highly regulated industries, including education, healthcare, and government. My practice centers on negotiating complex commercial contracts—such as DPAs, NDAs, and procurement terms—with a strong focus on privacy, data security, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, CCPA).

I regularly partner with cross-functional teams—sales, product, privacy, and security—to streamline legal operations, mitigate risk, and support scalable growth. I also teach contract… read more drafting as an adjunct law professor, helping future lawyers develop practical negotiation skills. I'm passionate about providing thoughtful, business-aligned legal guidance that empowers teams to move quickly and confidently.
