I am a Harvard-educated lawyer and writer, with experience in animal and environmental law.

While in law school, I worked on issues related to farmed animals, wild animals, and captive animals with Harvard’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic. I was also in the inaugural cohort of Emerging Scholar Fellows with the Brooks Institute for Animal Rights Law and Policy, where I worked on animal law scholarship. After two clerkships—with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the Federal District Court in Arizona—I litigated with one of the top environmental nonprofits in the country. My first book, FORGET THE CAMEL: The Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human, is out now. I’m now pursuing a PhD at Brown University in Religious Studies, examining human-animal relationships at the intersection of law, religion, and ethics.
