hi there! i’m a recovering ladder-climber living in new york city and trying to live my best life despite anxiety-fueled cuticle destruction and a tendency to dive into rabbit holes head first. as a sixth-year associate, i jumped off of the high-paying biglaw conveyor belt in 2022 to pursue writing and more creative endeavors. as an immigrant and the first lawyer in my family, i was surprised by so many things throughout life, my education, and legal career. i'm here to demystify the things i do know about (e.g., the ivy league, what being a lawyer is like) and contemplate the things i don't know about (e.g., how to be alive). i’ll also share my journey leaving the safety and stability of biglaw. enjoy!!

biglaw firms don't want influencers. they want control.
