I graduated from the University of Southern California in 2001 (B.S. in Chemical Engineering). In June 2004, I graduated from the University of Chicago Law School. For the 2004-2005 school year, I was a lecturer at the University of Chicago in the New Collegiate Division of Law, Letters, & Society. In August 2005, I joined O'Melveny & Myers LLP as an associate in the Intellectual Property & Technology Practice Group.
I started singing when I was two (my mother has it on a dusty cassette tape)and started taking piano lessons at age five. After twelve years of lessons, I completed the Advanced Certificate of Merit in Music Theory and Piano Performance.
My a cappella experience began when I became a founding member of the USC Sirens. I was the group's first music director, a position I held for three years, and during my senior year I planned our tour. The Siren's first four years of existence were productive ones. We recorded 2.2 albums, secured a few BOCA appearances, won some CARAs and toured the East Coast and Hawaii. I arranged about 20 songs for the group.
In law school, I restarted the Scales of Justice and directed the group for three years. During my year as a lecturer, I joined a new community group, Underground Sound, as its music director.
I have had the pleasure of judging several ICCA events and was a judge at the first SoJAM, where I also gave a workshop on women in a cappella. I have also served as a nominator and judge for the CARAs. In 2002, I was awarded a Varsity Vocals scholarship for my contributions to collegiate a cappella. I began reviewing for RARB in March 2000 and retired in early 2004. I rejoined RARB in January 2007.
