About Me
My name is Ian McConachie and I am a paralegal at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office specializing in cryptocurrency and investment fraud. I am currently applying to law school with the goal of pursuing a career in public interest technology law.
I care deeply about public service. I have worked with organizations including Prison Book Program, The Oregon Justice Resource Center, Meals on Wheels, Everybody Athletics, and The Oregon Food Bank. I believe it is important for every individual to try to make a positive impact on the world around them and I am always looking for new ways to help out. In addition to volunteering, I enjoy painting, hiking/backpacking, and table tennis.
