About me

She began her legal career in the New York office of Kirkland and Ellis LLP, where she was a general commercial litigator. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Zahreen taught 5th grade on the southwest side of Chicago, where she's originally from, and worked for the U.S. Department of Education.

She loves cooking and throwing parties. She's an avid reader (always has a book in hand) and is ready to have a conversation with you about whatever you are reading. She lives in Harlem with her wife, Shireen (together we are the "Reens"), and two dogs, Koa Bean Bryant and Amelia Furhart.
