I’m a partner in Nixon Peabody’s Employee Benefits group, advising private and public companies on health and welfare plans, disability and leave benefits, lifestyle and fringe benefits, health and data privacy, Medicare and state insurance rules, and tax compliance. I help clients address complex challenges with innovative, practical strategies, whether navigating digital health, implementing telemedicine and on-site clinics, or exploring how AI can modernize benefits administration.

My practice sits at the intersection of employee benefits and privacy, with a strong focus on results-driven solutions tailored to each client’s workforce and culture. I work extensively with companies in the food and beverage, media, and entertainment industries.

As workforce demographics evolve, I help employers stay ahead by designing benefits that support older workers through caregiver and leave programs, while also attracting younger talent with tuition reimbursement, fertility, and maternity support. I also advise on leveraging digital tools to deliver benefits more efficiently, ensuring these innovations are both strategic and legally sound.
