Although I started in Security Law, I found my passion practicing bankruptcy. My interest was heightened after 9/11 and I wanted to help businesses filling for bankruptcy that were effected by this tragedy. I like being a boutique firm in order to focus more on litigation recently including discharging student loan debt. I volunteered at the Wounded Warrior Project, Legal Aid Society, and Rutgers Pro-Bono.  I enjoy travel and hiking as well and have a goal of climbing every major mountain range in the world.
