Biography

I am an accomplished Intellectual Property attorney with a strong focus on patent and trademark law. Based in Chicago, I have been dedicated to providing exceptional legal services to a wide range of clients. My experience includes prosecuting trademark and patent applications, offering strategic branding and technology counsel for various business transactions, and representing clients in real estate and contract disputes. As a versatile legal professional, I have also contributed to the field through roles as a product legal assistant for a carbon credit registry platform and a contract attorney handling patent applications, trademark registrations, and IP contracts.

I have a Juris Doctor degree with a concentration in Intellectual Property Law-Patent Track from UIC Law School, where I graduated with distinction. My legal journey has been complemented by my background in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University.

Beyond my legal pursuits, I am a multilingual individual with intermediate proficiency in Arabic and basic understanding of Aramaic Assyrian. I am deeply engaged in legal and social communities, including my role as the President of the Assyrian American Bar Association. My diverse interests also extend to cooking, playing hockey or golf, and indulging in music.
