Hobbies
Raised in the Pacific Northwest, I moved to New York after law school to practice law in the family courts and pursue freelance work in entertainment writing; these are my current vocations. On the side, I like to read books (new and old), volunteer with the courts, play violin (even for a wedding), and write entertainment articles. In addition to my tutoring skills, I can assist professionals in legal writing, brief structure, letter writing, and thesis work. Please let me know if you have any questions.
