About me

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. My research fields are law and economics, secured transactions and real property, intellectual property law, international law, and cannabis law.

My research explores the dynamics between regulation and industry development as well as the legal, economic, and social history of pharmaceutical industries, with a recent focus on these dynamics as embodied by social equity and economic regulations in the cannabis industry. I investigate these dynamics from both technical and social justice perspectives.

My recent work evaluates theories of social equity in the creation of new cannabis industries and how such theories can be integrated into a regulatory system that fosters the growth of new cannabis industries. 

I have created and taught or co-taught classes in secured transactions, real property, other bar topics cannabis law, and business law.

I have professional experience working as an attorney, appeals court law clerk, lobbyist, government policy consultant, law school academic advisor, bar success tutor, college policy debate coach, and business consultant.

Research interests: Regulating nascent industries (cannabis, pharmaceuticals, Web3, and AI), economic development and social equity, historical property law, theories of legal education, comparative international law.
