Alma’s dedication to immigrant rights is rooted in her life and work experiences. Her professional experience in immigration spans several years before law school, during which she worked with the AILA NY Chapter Children’s Docket, worked with immigration lawyers, and volunteered with the CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project. During law school, Alma interned as an Immigrant Workers’ Rights Intern at Catholic Migration Services, a Legal Projects Intern at Immigrant-ARC, and a student attorney at her school’s Immigrant & Noncitizen Rights Clinic. Alma is excited to be representing unaccompanied minors as an IJC Fellow at the Safe Passage Project.
