• Drafting an Amended Complaint in a sugar antitrust matter

• Assisting in drafting an indirect purchaser complaint in a frozen potatoes litigation

• Drafting a Motion to Dismiss state law claims based on government immunity

• Conducting research on artificial intelligence and tort liability
• Analyzing state consumer protection statutes alongside federal law

DaJonna earned her J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School, where she served as Student Bar Association President, a co-founding member of the Privacy Law Society, and an editorial consultant for the Colorado Law Review.
