Teaching has been a passion of mine long before I became an attorney. Before law school, I taught competitive drum and bugle corps throughout the United States and Japan, helping develop performers and championship organizations at every level, including three DCI World Championship percussion titles. That experience taught me that people learn best when they are challenged, engaged, and inspired.

​

For more than thirteen years, I have brought that same energy and interactive teaching style to the classroom as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of West Los Angeles School of Law, where I teach Entertainment Law. In Fall 2026, I am honored to join the faculty of the University of San Francisco School of Law—my alma mater—completing a full-circle journey from student to professor. My goal is to bridge the gap between legal theory and real-world practice. Every class emphasizes practical experience, active discussion, current industry developments, and the business realities of entertainment, technology, and intellectual property law. Students are encouraged to think strategically, negotiate creatively, and solve the problems they will face in practice.

Teaching extends beyond the classroom. Through my writing, I share practical legal guidance with attorneys, entrepreneurs, creators, and business professionals.
