Mayra Garay

My passion for public interest work began when I joined Teach For America as a corps member in 2013. One of my greatest accomplishments as a Teach For America corps member was ensuring the inclusion of Latino issues in the general discourse of educational inequity in the Metro Atlanta region. At Boyd,  I have continued to follow my passion for public interest by volunteering to assist Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients with their DACA renewals, serving as an interpreter for asylum cases with the Immigration Clinic,  participating in the Partners in Pro Bono program, volunteering with the Kid’s Court program, and serving as a law student mentor through the Huellas Mentorship program. I feel very lucky to have so many opportunities here at Boyd to learn and serve my community. Boyd's commitment to public interest is unwavering. I am honored to be a Public Interest Fellow. I hope to contribute to Boyd's impact in our community both during my time as a law student and as an attorney in the future.
