In-House Legal Leadership
I bring extensive experience as in-house counsel to fast-growing companies.
At MOTION PT Group, I built the compliance function from the ground up—drafting policies to address key regulatory issues and negotiating a wide range of contracts critical to expansion across multiple states.
At Ambulnz, I negotiated high-value contracts, oversaw compliance for national operations, and advised leadership on growth strategies in heavily regulated markets.
These roles sharpened my ability to deliver practical, business-aligned legal advice—exactly what startups and fast-growing companies need from their counsel.

Entrepreneurial Perspective
In addition to advising founders, I have also been one.
As Co-Founder and President of Bespoke Health, I launched and scaled a healthcare services company during the COVID-19 pandemic.
From contracting with government entities to ensuring compliance with evolving state and federal regulations, I lived firsthand the unique pressures that founders face.
That experience gives me a perspective few attorneys share: I not only understand the legal complexities of building a company, but I also know the urgency of finding clear, workable solutions that enable growth.
My Approach to Legal Practice
At the core of my practice is a belief that legal strategy should be a driver of innovation, not an obstacle to it. Whether it’s structuring contracts, building compliance programs, or tackling regulatory uncertainties, I focus on aligning legal solutions with the realities of startup life—nimble, strategic, and always forward-looking.
