I am a dedicated educator and practicing artist who loves making complex ideas accessible and engaging. Since January 2026, I have been an adjunct professor delivering an online media law course to undergraduates, crafting lessons that break down tough concepts into approachable, relevant, and enjoyable material. I strive to provide constructive feedback on writing and reflection assignments and support students in meeting weekly deadlines. In addition to teaching, I run and contribute to a range of creative and civic projects. I am a painting artist and owner of Mimochai Studio, where I manage operations and collaborate on both original and commissioned work. I also contribute to The Pop-Hop Books Co-op as a bookseller and member coordinator, and previously practiced as a staff attorney and land use counsel, and as an associate at Nossaman LLP, focusing on environmental and regulatory matters and project approvals. I value community engagement, mentorship, and interdisciplinary work.
