Nursing student in the Accelerated BSN program at GWU School of Nursing. Expected graduation in August, 2022. Previously, I worked for 13 years in the IP legal industry, most recently in foreign filing for a top US patent & trademark law firm. My earlier experience in the industry included both US and foreign docketing, as well as training and leadership responsibilities with a team of three to four staff. I earned my BA from Indiana University in 2006, where I studied rhetoric & communication, sociology, and Russian language & literature. After graduation, I did further Russian language studies through a year-long, non-degree program in St. Petersburg, Russia. Specialties include advanced proficiency in Russian; experience in staff training and supervision.
