At Zalkind, I represent clients in a variety of practice areas, including criminal defense, employment, higher education, and appeals. I joined the firm as an associate in 2025 after completing a clerkship at the Massachusetts Appeals Court. During law school, I gained valuable experience interning for the Honorable Patti B. Saris at the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of the Solicitor, and a civil legal aid organization where I defended individuals against deceptive debt collection practices. I also had the opportunity to represent clients as a student attorney in the Access to Justice Clinic, focusing on eviction defense and challenges to denials of unemployment benefits. I became a lawyer to help individuals navigate complex legal systems and to stand up for those facing abuses of power, whether in the workplace, the criminal legal system, or a university setting.
