I am an Associate Professor of the Practice at Brandeis University and a Visiting Lecturer at Wellesley College. I currently teach seminars at Brandeis on American Health Care: Law & Policy and Special Topics in Public Health: U.S. History & Policy. I have also taught Patient Autonomy: Law, Medicine & Ethics. In 2023, I began teaching Constitutional Law: Civil Rights, Civil Liberties & Justice at Wellesley and Public Health in America: Politics & Policy.
My students have repeatedly recognized me during the Celebration of Teaching at Brandeis Day, for making a difference in the lives of students and as a Career Hero for making a significant contribution to their professional or career objectives.
I have also taught Business Law at Babson and Health Care Ethics at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (now MCPHS).
In addition to teaching for nearly 20 years, for 30 years, I’ve worked in-house as a health care lawyer for several hospitals, health care providers, and health tech/bio tech companies. Most recently, I worked for a Google subsidiary and for a CRISPR company. I am a graduate of Wellesley College, Boston College Law School, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
