Born in Montreal, Iattended the University of Ottawa where I double-majored in political science in history. After graduating, I worked at the Aleph Institute, a nationally recognized prisoner’s right organization, where I advocated for the religious and humanitairan rights of inmates. While at Aleph, I had success with my written and oral advocacy, including obtaining diversionary sentences for youth and medical parole from the Florida DOC for a woman suffering from early-onset dementia. Those, and other experiences at Aleph, inspired me to go to law school, with the hopes of keeping people out of prison in the first place or getting them out. While in law school, I interned with my current employer, and worked on a project related to disposition times of federal habeas corpus petitions (28 U.S.C. § 2254), which has since resulted in increasing disposition times. I brought my passion from my days as an advocate to my practice and, thankfully, continue to obtain favorable outcomes for my clients, including reversals of convictions on direct appeal and post-conviction review, as well as reduction in sentence. I have also had success in related civil litigation, including bringing an Article 78 action compelling New York State to give our client a parole hearing even though she was not in state custody.
