Legal Intern, Wikimedia Foundation
About me
I have been a follower of Wikimedia projects for years, so I am very excited to join the Legal and Community Advocacy team this summer as a Legal Intern. Before the Wikimedia Foundation, I worked for Google in the Bay Area and London. I am currently focused on the effect of diverse international laws on global organizations. Through my work at the Wikimedia Foundation, I hope to contribute to the mission of making useful information available over the Internet.
I received a BA in Economics and History from the University of California, Berkeley and I am currently a student at Harvard Law School.
My work
In my role, I support the Office of the General Counsel as we address all legal matters related to the Foundation and its projects.
