SPOTLIGHT

“At Haub Law, I joined LALSA to make a difference and to represent the Latinx community. I want people to know how important it is to be comfortable in your own skin and everything else that makes us who we are. I was the 1L Representative, Secretary, and now am Vice President of LALSA – and I am proud of that. Diversity comes in many different shapes and sizes, but all of which are important because there are no two identical stories. Each person provides their own perspective and learning experiences. Latinx lawyers are not a majority, and many Latinx families do not strive for that career path. I hope to serve as inspiration to others so they may follow my path into the legal profession."
Welcome, Natalie!

Natalie Pagano has joined Haub Law as the Director of Student Services/Campus Affairs and an Adjunct Professor. Natalie is a 2019 graduate of Haub Law. Prior to joining us, Natalie was an Associate Attorney, practicing Education Law. During her time at Haub Law, she was a published Senior Member of Pace Law Review and very involved with the Trial Advocacy Program, having success in many moot and mock competitions.

"I am excited to be back and look forward to using both my legal education and professional experiences to bring a new outlook to the growth and success of our students and school."
