I am the Co-Executive Director of Legal Link, a California-based nonprofit working to create and support a new frontline of community legal navigators. Legal Link’s mission is to remove legal barriers that prolong poverty by adding critically needed capacity to the legal ecosystem. We embed legal navigation support in community-based settings by training and supporting partners to identify legal issues, surface unmet legal needs, and access legal protections.

As a former Namati team member, I have dedicated my legal career to supporting innovative models that work to close the access to justice gap for communities experiencing poverty.
