About me

I'm a San Francisco-based reporter at IP Law and Business magazine, where I write about intellectual property (patents, trademarks, and copyrights) and the law. The magazine is affiliated with The American Lawyer and is part of ALM.

Before working for ALM, I wrote for The Seattle Times and covered the 2007 Nevada Legislature for The Associated Press. I returned to San Francisco in July to write about IP law for the Daily Journal, a California legal affairs newspaper.

My freelance work has been featured in San Francisco Magazine, The San Jose Mercury News, The Sacramento Bee, and other publications.

In my pre-journalism life, I rode around San Francisco as a bike messenger, waited tables in a Jerusalem steakhouse, and grew dates in the desert.

In 2006, I graduated from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. My BA, also from Berkeley, is in History.
