I studied philosophy at Georgetown and spent a semester mediating consumer disputes at the D.C. Attorney General's office. That work showed me how much of justice depends on intake: on whether a complaint reaches the right person. Now I build tools that close that gap, and I write about the questions they raise.
I'm looking for work in access to justice and legal technology, where a better intake system decides who gets heard.

Most of my writing asks who gets heard: whose testimony counts, which injuries a system can recognize, and what the record keeps.
Hermeneutical Injustice in Ottoman Courts
Ottoman women sued often and lost more. The gap opened before testimony, when an injury had to fit a category the court could hear.

Shieber cites studies claiming we are poor judges of who to believe. None of them tests what it claims to: a face-to-face telling.
From Cova da Iria to the Kremlin
The 1917 Fatima testimonies never mention Russia. The famous prophecy entered the record in 1941, written by a witness remembering through a new war.
The Unmade Self
Critics asked what Tracey Emin's My Bed makes us feel. Read through Joan Didion, the better question is what it does.
Metaphysics of the Self in Catherine of Siena and Simone Weil
Both mystics share a vocabulary of attention and waiting. Beneath it lie two views of the self that cannot be reconciled.
