1. What is your role at PLSE and how long have you been a member of the team?
I have been at PLSE for about two and a half years as the Pro Bono Manager. My job is to help train volunteer attorneys and law students on the pardon process, and to connect them with our clients to help them complete their pardon applications.
2. What projects are you currently working on?
PLSE has pardon projects at five area law schools, where law students take on pardon cases each semester, so I am currently providing support to law students who are working with our clients and giving them feedback on their pardon application drafts. I am also working on outreach to our law firm partners to check on their pardon case statuses.
3. What's your favorite thing about PLSE?
My favorite thing about PLSE is how adaptable it is. We are given a lot of opportunities to share our ideas and concerns and to brainstorm solutions to problems we encounter. These opportunities for dialogue allow us to grow and change as an organization so we can best meet the needs of our clients.
Also, our clients are genuinely awesome people. It is an honor getting to hear our clients' stories and to help them fight for the second chances they deserve.
4. What's your favorite place to grab a bite in Philly right now?
I always love picking up a pizza from the Pitruco food truck whenever it's in my neighborhood. Their mushroom pie is probably my favorite pizza of all time.
