Hi! I am a mom of three kiddos and a professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. I supervise the Gator TeamChild Juvenile Law Clinic, where alongside my students, I represent abused and neglected children in court. My research focuses at the intersection of a parent’s right to share and a child’s right to privacy. You can find my written work at various media outlets, but most frequently at On Parenting from The Washington Post.
I’ve been an attorney practicing in the areas of criminal and juvenile law since 2003. After graduating from law school, I was a special victim’s unit prosecutor until 2009 and then worked as a child welfare attorney for children’s legal services, representing the best interests of children in foster care.
I am also a photographer. My work found its genesis in self reflection. I love to take pictures, and over the years I've explored whether posting my children's pictures online could impact their digital footprints.
My research led me to the conclusion that parents need to protect their children’s digital privacy … but also that families benefit by sharing online. There are ways to share safely, and GROWING UP SHARED explores how parents can share smarter on social media and what families can do to keep their children safe in a no-privacy world.
