Macie Nielsen

Before I knew I wanted to come to law school, I knew I wanted to have a career focused on supporting and serving my community. I got a master's degree in social work and was fortunate enough be involved with a variety of amazing non-profit organizations. These organizations, and the people I interacted with, inspired my love for public interest work. Becoming a Public Interest Fellow was a natural transition when I started law school because of my desire to continue learning about how I can make a positive impact in the lives of those navigating the legal system. Being a Public Interest Fellow gives me an opportunity to connect with other students who share my goals and passion for our futures in the field and I am honored to be a part of the work they are doing.
