About Me

I work on behalf of incarcerated people as a civil rights attorney. I also write about issues at the intersections of race, disability, and incarceration.

I'm a Staff Attorney with the Abolitionist Law Center where I litigate prison conditions and cases to end solitary confinement. Prior to that, I was an Arthur Liman Fellow at the ACLU National Prison Project (NPP). At NPP, I worked on the ACLU’s Stop Solitary campaign seeking to end the practice of solitary confinement in our nation’s prisons, jails, and juvenile detention centers through public policy reform, legislation, litigation, and public education. I'm a 2013 graduate of Yale Law School, where I was an active member of the Criminal Defense Project and the Detention and Human Rights Clinic, and a 2006 graduate of Stanford University where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Master of Arts degree in Sociology.
