she was selected by the southern district of new york (sdny) board of judges in 2022. prior to that, she was an assistant district attorney in new york county, as well as a former assistant solicitor general for the new york state attorney general. she earned her jd in 2006 after earning a bachelor degree in business administration in 2003.

(on one hand, it's google, so fuck them, but on the other hand, it was against a vexatious patent infringement litigant, so fuck them too.) (edited to replace paywalled link.)
