As an attorney with over 20 years of experience, I focus on technology-centered legal counseling, focusing on Intellectual Property (IP), Information Technology (IT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Open Source and Digital Accessibility. With a Law and Technology Certificate from Berkeley Law, my practice bridges the gap between law and emerging technologies.I currently serve as Assistant General Counsel (Technology) for Nike Global Technology, where I support domains such as cloud infrastructure, data platforms, AI development, corporate information security, and global telecom. My expertise includes drafting and negotiating complex technology contracts, providing legal guidance on AI solutions, and driving contractual compliance with global data privacy regulations, including GDPR.As a self-taught technologist, I understand the intricacies of cloud computing, AI, open-source software, and security frameworks. This allows me to provide actionable legal insights that reflect the technical realities of modern enterprise environments. I explain law to technologists and technology to other lawyers, creating a shared language that supports innovation while maintaining legal and regulatory compliance.During my career, I've managed external counsel, advised senior leadership, and cultivated policy frameworks around open-source software, digital accessibility, and cloud governance. I’ve also developed eight Oregon State Bar accredited Continuing Legal Education (CLE) courses about technology law, tech transactions and mindfulness.Past roles have equipped me with a robust foundation in IP litigation, trademark prosecution, brand management, and media law, with nearly a decade of experience in journalism, covering the intersection of technology and society.Whether mentoring the next generation of lawyers or guiding companies through their digital transformation, I bring a collaborative, forward-thinking approach to every challenge, always aiming to build strong, cross-functional teams and cultivate a culture of inclusivity and innovation.
