When individuals face challenging legal issues, I strive to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and practical support to help them move forward. I am an Associate Attorney in the Fort Wayne, Indiana office of Stange Law Firm, where I focus on guiding clients through difficult times with compassion, clear communication, and thoughtful legal strategies. I bring a multidisciplinary background that blends my legal education with advanced knowledge in cybersecurity and technology. I earned my Juris Doctor from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law while concurrently completing a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Risk Management at Indiana University Bloomington. Before my studies in the United States, I obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws (Honors) from O.P. Jindal Global University in India. I am also an Advocate with the Bar Council of India. During law school, I gained hands-on experience through Indiana University’s Intellectual Property Clinic and Cybersecurity Clinic. In these roles, I worked on trademark applications, prepared responses to USPTO office actions, conducted cybersecurity risk assessments, and helped organizations address complex technical challenges with actionable legal advice. I also participated in Indiana University’s PatentConnect initiative, where I educated inventors on intellectual property rights and patent procedures. Before joining Stange Law Firm, I deepened my legal experience through internships in India. My responsibilities included conducting legal research, drafting pleadings and other legal documents, assisting with case preparation, communicating with clients, and attending court proceedings. These experiences allowed me to work on a range of legal matters, including civil and matrimonial cases, as well as appellate and trial-level proceedings. I am committed to applying my strong foundation in law and technology to serve my clients effectively.
