I am a licensed attorney, fluent in Japanese, and also a professional composer, arranger, and orchestrator. I am based in Chicago and have been practicing law for nearly a decade. I have composed and arranged music for clients around the globe and lived in Japan for years at a time (where I worked as a translator and interpreter for local government).

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., I earned my undergraduate degree in international studies (with a focus in history and Japanese) from Middlebury College in Vermont and my J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law at Champaign-Urbana.

I have enjoyed tutoring students in a variety of topics, including the law, standardized test taking, Japanese language, and music theory and analysis. I look forward to helping you!
