Since graduating from Harvard College (Lowell House) and Yale Law School, I have been a lawyer, senior executive and educator in the entertainment industry. I have served as senior vice president of Showtime Networks and PolyGram Records; as general counsel of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; as a partner at major law firms, where I represented clients ranging from Apple Inc. to Ziggy Marley; as a U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee counsel; and as a Visiting Lecturer at Yale, where I taught a course on “Music and the Law.” As an undergraduate, I spearheaded the initiative that led to a coeducational House system, gender-neutral admissions, and other measures to ensure equal educational opportunities for female students. I am also a composer whose works have been performed in Lowell House and Sanders Theatre. I would welcome opportunities to discuss law, music, the arts, career planning, gender equality, politics, or other subjects of interest.
