Boyd's commitment to being a resource to the community, is in my opinion, one of its greatest strengths. I feel privileged to be a Public Interest Fellow and get to work with some of the brightest professors and students alike. Together, there is a shared vision for ensuring our legal work is serving our most vulnerable populations and meeting the needs of our state. I have spent most of my professional life fighting for immigrant rights and better access to healthcare. I know this fellowship will give me the tools to continue in the struggle for justice while working with the Boyd network and beyond.
