I’m in private practice, and do regular work with a number of civil society orgs on these topics. In addition, I’ve given keynotes at conferences, law and journalism schools, and bylines include The Nation and NYU Law Review with quotes in the Washington Post. I’ve done live broadcasts including BBC, Democracy Now!, and Al Jazeera English.

In my spare time, I’m an open water swimmer, rescue diver, and dabble in artistic projects with costume design, cooking, and music.
