I took my last final exam at Santa Clara University School of Law yesterday and found this article on my chapbook Merit and Grace waiting for me when I finished. It felt fitting. Sharing with utmost gratitude for this school that is helping me to become the lawyer and advocate I want to be.

I had the honor of giving the keynote address for the TASC Justice Teach-In at Notre Dame High School in San Jose, California, on April 18th. As the oldest all-girls high school in the western United States, Notre Dame has an established history of providing education that cultivates women of impact. TASC Justice is a student-led group which educates and advocates for social justice issues while promoting service, activism, and equitable leadership within the school.

My most recent chapbook, Merit and Grace, was featured at the 2025 NAPABA Convention. This poem cycle on the Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe was on display in the NAPABA Nook, the Convention’s pop-up library space. I'm delighted and honored that Merit and Grace was in the company of these amazing Asian American legal writers and scholars.
