Emily graduated with a BA in Politics from Catholic University of America in 2003.
The Children’s Law Center is an amazing advocate for DC’s children. CLC gives children the best legal representation possible, through experienced and phenomenally devoted and creative staff. They will go to any length to make sure that vulnerable children get the help they need. Equally impressive, CLC uses the experiences from serving children directly to promote public policy changes that help all of the city’s children — bringing us closer to the day when every child has a safe and stable home.
