public domain researcher, archivist, photographer, and helper

My Story

I’m a Los Angeles–based researcher and writer, specializing in public domain and copyright law. My work with Duke Law’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain and the Internet Archive has led to published research and outreach projects. With over two years of experience as an administrative assistant in corporate, bookstore, and film settings, I bring a detail-oriented approach and a knack for anticipating needs. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy meditation, reading, photography, and exploring AI as a tool to empower workers without replacing creative voices.
