Animal Advocate,

Writer & Attorney

I am a Harvard-educated lawyer, with experience in animal law and environmental law.

While in law school, I worked on issues related to farmed animals, wild animals, and captive animals with Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic. I was also in the inaugural cohort of Emerging Scholar Fellows with the Brooks Institute for Animal Rights Law and Policy, where I worked on animal law scholarship. After two clerkships—with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the Federal District Court in Arizona—I litigated with one of the top environmental nonprofits in the country. My first book, FORGET THE CAMEL! The Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human, will be out soon. 

We all have the power to make real change—in our own lives and in the broader world—with the small choices we make every day.
