I have a JD and a Masters in Regional Planning and have taught at the university level since 2014. I have taught a variety of interdisciplinary courses committed to analyses of law, political economy, and justice across multiple social contexts. This has included courses examining legal institutions and urbanization, race, gender and other sites of inequality, environmental justice, public finance and the organization of the economy around the demands of financial markets and more.
Before coming to teaching, I had over 15 years of experience in matters of law, development and inequality in New York, New Delhi, and California. I worked as a legislative aide and counsel to a former senior member of the New York State Assembly, a former Speaker of the New York City Council, and the Office of the Mayor in New York City. I have drafted and overseen legislation on issues ranging from the rights of domestic workers to matters of domestic violence, the rights of parents in the child welfare system and consumer protection law. I have also served as an administrative law judge and worked on issues of indigenous sovereignty and human rights. From 2009-2013, I worked for a research institute in New Delhi, India on issues of financial sector regulation after the 2008 global financial crisis.
