Biography

I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to San Francisco to attend college.  Thereafter, I earned a Bachelors Degree in Political Science in 1999 from San Francisco State University.  That same year, I enrolled at New College of California School of Law and earned a Juris Doctoral Degree in 2002.  While in college, I worked at Senator Barbara Boxer's office, and while in law school, I worked on a death penalty appeal.  I became a lawyer in 2003, and later I also became a licensed Real Estate Broker.  I am an accomplished musician, and in my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends here in San Francisco, where I reside.
