My Approach

Growing up, I always thought I would be a doctor – my goal in high school was to become a cardiologist. I majored in biomedical engineering in college, and I even prepared for and took the MCAT. That plan took a hard left turn following a chance encounter before med school which, in hindsight, altered (for the better) the trajectory of my life and career. As it turned out, my technical background in engineering and interest in medicine allowed for a seamless and natural transition to intellectual property law – primarily on the technology side – where I’ve since spent the past 15+ years.

Intellectual property assets are often at the heart of my clients’ businesses. Prior to joining Winthrop, I was in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 company (and its most recent spinoff) where I oversaw global intellectual property strategy for a wide variety of businesses, ranging from dental and healthcare, home improvement and consumer products. I’m adept at digging in and deeply understanding the businesses I’m a part of, and I aim to provide workable, pragmatic solutions for my clients, rather than simply providing unweighted alternatives. Having counsel who can clearly identify and communicate risk/opportunity throughout an organization – from the individual inventor up through the highest levels of management – while still keeping the product or deal on track is critical.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and frequently serve as a private chauffeur for my two young daughters. I also love being active – you’ll often find me running or golfing in the summer and downhill skiing in the winter.
