About me

I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in January 2016 as a Legal Intern.

I am currently at student at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and will be graduating in May 2016. Prior to joining Wikimedia, I've interned in the legal departments of several companies, worked at my law school's Entrepreneurship and Intellectual Property legal clinic, and conducted research on privacy issues.

Additionally, I have my CIPP/US certification with the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

My work

As a Legal Intern I work on a variety of areas to help the Wikimedia Foundation and community, including information privacy, copyright, and trademark issues.

Disclaimer: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I intend to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
