My practice as a litigator at DOJ spanned a broad range of law, from first amendment <br /> to national security, and I regularly appeared in courts across the country. During my time at the <br /> FCC, I mediated, negotiated, and litigated claims before both judicial and administrative bodies. <br /> Through these experiences, I have become accustomed to working with people of different <br /> backgrounds and facilitating interactions among competing interest groups. <br /> I believe that my substantive experience with regulatory law and litigation as well as my ability to <br /> work with people of different backgrounds, beliefs, and experience would allow me to contribute <br /> to the board. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I have worked in the public sector for much of my career. Although now I work for a private <br /> company, I am always looking for opportunities to volunteer for local government. I am <br /> particularly interested in places where regulatory law overlaps with public interest, and the ABC <br /> board seems to sit squarely at that intersection. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />
