Throughout her law school career, Jessica has been fortunate to work on an array of humanitarian relief cases through her various immigration-related internships. Because of her firm commitment to working in public interest immigration law, Jessica was drawn to IJC’s mission of increasing immigrant access to justice and training highly skilled advocates to place at various organizations in the field. Jessica will be working with Catholic Charities of New York as an IJC Fellow, where she can help expand the reach of legal services to immigrants in the Lower Hudson Valley.
