As an Employment Counsel at Gusto, I advise internal teams on the company's employment practices and policies, addressing complex and diverse questions on employment law. I also work with the product and compliance teams to envision and develop innovative HR technology solutions for small businesses, helping them navigate the challenges and opportunities of the future of work. With over 10 years of experience in counseling and litigation, I have a deep expertise in various employment laws, such as ADA, FLSA, Title VII, FMLA, OSHA, FCRA, and ADEA. I have counseled and represented clients of all sizes and industries, from mom-and-pop shops to Fortune 50 companies, across all 50 states. I have successfully handled cases involving accessibility, accommodations, leaves of absence, wage and hour, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and public accommodation issues. I have also developed and delivered content for employers looking for guidance on employment law questions. I am passionate about leveraging technology and automation to improve the efficiency and quality of legal services, and to empower small businesses to thrive in a changing and competitive environment. I value diversity and inclusion, and bring a unique perspective to the practice of law, as I have lived with a significant physical disability my entire life. I believe that overcoming physical challenges every day has sharpened my problem-solving skills and resilience, which I apply to my work and to my clients' needs. I am a forward-thinking, technology-driven, and business-confidant lawyer, and I am proud to be part of Gusto's mission to create a world where work empowers a better life.
