Law Center Welcomes New Arrivals
Our team is expanding, and we could not be happier to introduce these incredible new members:
Sarah Riley serves as the Development and Communications VISTA, focusing on expanding the Law Center’s network and improving the reach and capacity of the organization. She recently graduated from the College of William & Mary with a B.A. in Public Policy. She specifically enjoyed mentoring incarcerated youth while in school. This sparked her passion for working in the non-profit world. Having focused on issues of hunger and homelessness in the past, Sarah joins the Law Center with experience in the field and hopeful optimism that progress is possible.
Sarah is originally from Alexandria, Virginia, where she grew up understanding the power of laws and policies. She hopes to attend law school in the coming years and is eager to pursue a career in public interest.
Siobhan Allen is the Law Center’s Legal Intern for Summer 2020. She is a rising 2L at Columbia Law School and received her B.A. from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2019. During her first year at Columbia Law, she participated in the LaLSA Asylum and Refugee Law Moot Court and was a James Kent Scholar.
Siobhan has previously worked with The Legal Aid Society in Manhattan in their Criminal Defense Division and completed the Gallatin Global Fellowship on Urban Practice focusing on domestic workers’ rights in Madrid, Spain, and New York, New York. Siobhan is excited to bring her experience in immigration law and criminal law to the Law Center this summer. She is thankful for the opportunity to use these skills to aid people experiencing homelessness.
Nora Reavey-Gilbert is a Tisch Summer Fellow working to create diversity and inclusion materials for the Law Center. Through her research, Nora hopes to compile resources that include strategies and practices to benefit outreach, recruitment, and retention at the Law Center.
Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Nora is a rising junior studying Sociology and English at Tufts University. Her focus lies in sociological research, which she has explored through two research assistant positions during her time at Tufts. Through previous work with a large-scale audit study examining hiring discrimination, Nora gained an interest in workplace diversity. Nora is looking forward to this practical hands-on opportunity after her involvement in the academic and research aspects of this topic.
