About me
I have been with the Foundation in a variety of legal roles since 2008. I attended the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!) for university and the University of California, Hastings (Go Ridiculously Heavy Books!) for law school. I am licensed to practice law in California and New York. Personally, I'm a geek about intellectual property, freedom of speech on the internet, online privacy, beer, food, and travel to find said beer and food.
My work
As Legal Counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation, I represent and advise the Foundation on a wide array of matters, including community and content issues, contracts, intellectual property, international law, licensing, litigation, policy, and privacy. I have the immense privilege of helping defend the community's work and fighting to protect the right to freely disseminate the world's collective knowledge.
