Erin pursued law to support asylum seekers navigating a complex and unjust system. During her undergraduate studies, Erin participated in a class that worked with detained unaccompanied minors to publish a poetry anthology entitled Dreaming America: Voices of Undocumented Youth in Maximum-Security Detention. This experience exposed her to the unjust treatment minors in the system face. While in law school, Erin served as a Legal Intern at the Florence Project and at Human Rights First where she supported indigent asylum seekers navigating the US immigration apparatus. Erin is determined to pursue a career centered on immigrant rights, social equity, and justice for targeted communities. As an IJC Fellow, Erin will serve unaccompanied children at the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
