Law Clerk to the Honorable Michelle P. Bassi

As a law and policy intern, I conducted comprehensive research on various federal and state statutes relating to wildlife connectivity. I critically analyzed proposed legislation, providing constructive feedback on environmental and justice-centered issues. Additionally, I participated in administrative notice-and-comment rulemaking by responding to the Bureau of Land Management's public comment requests.

In this role, I acted as counsel for a client and collaborated with a team of other law students to discuss litigation strategy and claims. I investigated my client's potential claims and then developed the case record by interviewing various witnesses, filing interrogatories and requests for production, and examining my client's files closely. I then drafted my client's complaint and a motion against summary judgment which I then argued before a US District Court Judge.

I was the Assistant Manager in the summer of 2017 and 2018. My roles included acting manager during the day, running admissions, managing lifeguard rotations, daily chemical checks and pool maintenance, and communicating with patrons about any needs, questions, or issues they had.
