I have had the privilege of serving as a trial and appellate attorney with a diverse practice, gaining invaluable insights into various areas of law. For the last five years, my law practice has been dedicated to intellectual property and commercial litigation nationwide. My prior experience includes roles in criminal prosecution and defense, counter-terrorism litigation, family law, immigration law, and personal injury.
My multifaceted experience allows me to approach cases holistically, providing a nuanced and comprehensive perspective that goes beyond the confines of a single legal domain.
As an Adjunct Professor, I teach Business Law and Constitutional Law, emphasizing my commitment to legal education. Fluent in Arabic, my pro bono work focuses on securing asylum for Middle East persecution victims, reflecting my dedication to protecting human rights.
A staunch advocate for justice and inclusivity, my campaign embodies a commitment to fairness, equity, and democratic values. Finally, I am a devoted, single mother to a precocious 12-year-old daughter, the absolute light of my life.- Experience and Expertise: With 17 years of diverse legal experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the bench. My practice has covered intricate areas such as patent litigation and complex commercial litigation, showcasing a capacity to navigate and excel in challenging legal landscapes.
- Commitment to Justice: My unwavering dedication to the principles of justice and fairness is evident in my track record. From representing victims in pro bono asylum cases to securing victories against corporate giants, I am committed to ensuring a level playing field for all.
- Inclusivity and Community Engagement: Fluent in Arabic and actively engaged in pro bono work, I bring a unique perspective to the bench. My commitment to inclusivity extends to community engagement, promoting a judiciary that reflects and serves the diverse needs of our community.
Another area of passion is the protection of individual rights and civil liberties. I firmly believe in upholding the constitutional rights of every citizen and advocating for policies that strengthen these protections. This includes addressing systemic issues and working towards reforms that eliminate discrimination and bias within the legal system.
Moreover, my commitment to humanitarian causes is evident in my pro bono work, particularly in refugee and immigrant rights. I support policies that uphold the dignity and rights of those seeking asylum and refuge, contributing to a more compassionate and inclusive society.
My legacy involves inspiring future legal professionals to prioritize the needs of the vulnerable and underserved. By serving as an Adjunct Professor, teaching Business Law and Constitutional Law, I aim to influence the next generation with a deep understanding of the importance of legal education and its role in shaping a just society.
Furthermore, my pro bono work, particularly in securing asylum for Middle East persecution victims, underscores a commitment to fighting discrimination and standing up for those facing profound challenges. This work forms part of a broader legacy of making tangible, positive differences in the lives of individuals who seek refuge and justice.
