A Little Bit About Me

After four years of living in New York City, I decided to pick myself up and move to Guangzhou (广州), China where I am one of four Yale-China Teaching Fellows teaching English classes at Sun Yat-sen University, known locally as 中大.  I’m teaching two classes, one called “The Constitution in Theory and Practice” the other is called “Persuasive Rhetoric: How to Convince Anyone of Anything”.  In my spare time, I’m taking Chinese lessons, trying to famiiarize myself with the law clinic on campus, and navigating the crazy and exciting streets of 广州.  Before upping myself and moving to China, I had been living in New York City for the past four years.  While in New York, I finished up my J.D. at Columbia Law School and worked for two years at Debevoise & Plimpton, LLP in the corporate department, while starting and building a legal clinic at the KIPP Academy in the Bronx.  Many, many years ago I grew up in Marlboro, New Jersey, where my parents still live and is where I still consider home given that throughout my 20s I have moved to a new city at least once every four years.
