I am an Associate Professor of the Practice at Brandeis University, where I lead advanced seminars within the interdisciplinary Health: Science, Society and Policy (HSSP) and Legal Studies programs. My current courses are American Health Care: Law & Policy, Public Health: U.S. History & Policy, and Medical Ethics: Law, Policy & Justice. In 2023 and 2024, I served as a Visiting Lecturer at Wellesley College, teaching Constitutional Law and Public Health in America. I have also taught Business Law at Babson College and Health Care Ethics at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS).
My teaching is deeply rooted in thirty years of active legal practice. As an attorney, I have served as in-house counsel for Boston-area hospitals, healthcare providers, and pioneering health-tech and biotech firms, including a Google subsidiary and a CRISPR-focused company. I strive to create meaningful connections between the classroom and professional practice. I am honored to have been repeatedly recognized by my students at Brandeis, including being named a “Career Hero” for my contributions to their professional trajectories and career objectives.
I am a graduate of Wellesley College, Boston College Law School, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
