Transactional sports & corporate law
I'm a J.D. candidate at Loyola Law School and a USC Legal Studies alum, working on the deal side — contracts, licensing, IP strategy, and the regulation that decides what a deal can look like before anyone reaches the table.
2022 — 2029
Nothing here happened one at a time. Community college and USC overlapped with campaign work, court internships, and a firm job — the bars show how much ran at once.

Current work
Assign counsel across simultaneous courtrooms — trials, ex partes, motions, OSCs — with no duplicate appearances and no missed hearings.
Audit every active matter in Clio against the calendar before each hearing so appearance fees and motion prep are actually invoiced. Recovered unbilled charges across regular, Empire, and institutional clients.
Prepare SER-001, SER-001A, and EJ-130 packages, coordinate with LASD civil service, generate shipping labels, and track every submission.
Draft and process notices through the LASC Attorney Portal and Countrywide e-filing, then manage electronic and mail service and proof-of-service compliance.

Where I'm headed
My USC capstone looked at regulatory instability in college athletics — NIL rights, the transfer portal, and the case for federal oversight. Writing it taught me something I keep coming back to: legal frameworks decide what deals are possible before anyone gets to the negotiating table.
Court internships at the LA Superior Court and the District Attorney's Office showed me how the system runs day to day across criminal, civil, family, and mental health proceedings. The 450 hours I put in with College Corps on hunger relief across LA County are the other half of it. I'd like to spend a career closing deals and still be useful to the communities I came from.
The ask
I start at Loyola this fall. Between now and my 1L summer, the most useful thing anyone can give me is twenty minutes — how a transactional group actually staffs juniors, what a first-year deal associate's week looks like, what you wish you'd known before OCI.
I've had those conversations with attorneys at Gibson Dunn, Kirkland & Ellis, and Willkie Farr, and every one of them changed how I'm planning the next three years. If any of the below is in your world, I'd like to hear from you.
