Immediately after college I attended law school at Hofstra University in New York where I graduated with a concentration in environmental law. After passing the Massachusetts Bar, I began practicing as an associate attorney in the area of corporate and general business law at a small, start-up law firm. Nearly eight months later, I chose to jump start my interests in environmental law by moving to Washington, DC. I waived into the District of Columbia Bar. After another eight months of private practice, I chose to pursue an advanced degree in my desired field of practice. I graduated from The George Washington University Law School with an LL.M. in Environmental Law in 2009.
