As the daughter of an immigrant and a native Spanish speaker, Amanda recognized her calling to public service at a young age. With a desire to help serve the community, Amanda attended Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. While enrolled at Georgetown, Amanda was a student attorney at Georgetown’s Institute for Public Representation Clinic where she represented city workers in their discrimination claims against the city of Washington, D.C. in the D.C. Court of Appeals—a case Amanda and her colleagues ultimately triumphed in. Amanda also served as a constitutional law teacher and mock trial coach at a local inner-city high school as a part of Georgetown’s renowned Street Law Practicum and was an assistant editor for the Georgetown Technology Law Review.
After graduating, Amanda began her legal career as a Georgetown Law Fellow for St. Francis Cabrini Center for Immigrant Legal Assistance. During her time at Cabrini, Amanda represented dozens of unaccompanied children seeking refuge after having suffered the unimaginable in their home countries. Amanda fought for the rights of her clients and successfully obtained multiple trafficking visas on behalf of children illegally trafficked into the United States.
