Background
Before entering media in early 2020, I was a federal prosecutor at the Justice Department specializing in financial fraud and white-collar crime. Before that, I worked at a New York law firm in commercial litigation and white-collar corporate defense. I hold a law degree and a B.A. from Columbia University and clerked for a federal judge in the Southern District of New York.
I regularly provide legal commentary and analysis on television, radio, and podcasts, including MS NOW, CNN, BBC, C-SPAN, and NPR.
