As a bioengineer, policy analyst, and lawyer by training, I help growing businesses tackle barriers to innovation by:

• Empowering founders with clear, structured, and value-driven paths from founding to exit.

• Building modern tools to streamline & optimize legal services and business processes.

• Making the entrepreneurship journey more efficient, accessible, and enjoyable.

Prior to founding Valle Legal, I led complex fundraising, mergers, and acquisitions transactions for life science and technology companies at law firms of varying sizes, and I served as a policy analyst at the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues under the Obama Administration. I once worked in several genetics and bioengineering labs and even programmed yeast to produce raspberry scents.

Outside my legal practice, I enjoy writing and making music (I release songs under the stage name Tulip!), spending time alone in nature, and watching goofy ensemble sitcoms (“The Mick”, “Parks & Rec”, & “Workaholics”) or character-driven psych thrillers (“BEEF”, “White Lotus”, & “Taxi Driver”). I also run my own pet-related startup called Cotl (pronounced like “coddle”).
