Dear <<First Name>>,

Law clerks and interns are important to our organization because they contribute to providing the services our community deserves. From doing legal research to being part of client work, every aspect of the work they do is important. This summer, we are joined by five law clerks who have been cooperating and working hard to continue NWJP’s mission.

Please join us in learning more about them below:

Chelsea Alatriste Martinez | she/her

Chelsea is a rising 2L at the University of Oregon School of Law. She was born and raised in Newport, Oregon and has strong family roots in Puebla, Mexico. During her gap year, Chelsea worked for the Beyond Borders Program with Texas Civil Rights Project in Austin, Texas. She is eager to participate in community lawyering, and looks forward to learning about labor law in Oregon this summer.

Daria Mateescu | she/her

Daria is a law clerk from New York. She attends Columbia Law School, where she is the president of Columbia Law Students for Palestine and a member of the Restorative Justice Collective. She graduated from Swarthmore College in 2020 with a B.A. in philosophy and a minor in interpretation theory. Prior to law school, Daria taught second grade and served as a home care worker for adults with disabilities. She spent her early years and later summers in Romania, where her family continues to live. In her free time, she enjoys traveling in the Balkans and learning Russian. She hopes to eventually become an advocate for garment workers in Eastern Europe who are exploited by multinational corporations, and for Romanian migrant workers who work as home health aides in Western Europe.

Emily Sabillon | she/her

Emily Sabillon is a law student at the University of Pacific, McGeorge School of Law located in Sacramento, CA. She was born and raised in Los Angeles County. As a daughter of immigrants, she knows first-hand the struggles that immigrant families face in establishing themselves in the U.S. After working at a factory one summer, she was exposed to poor working conditions and became inspired to advocate for the working class. Emily is excited to use her legal degree to help families like her own and secure equitable working conditions for vulnerable employees.

Evianna Colvin | she/her

Evianna is a third-year law student at Lewis & Clark Law School studying labor and employment law. Experiencing first-hand the life-changing benefits of a powerful union when her father became a longshoreman with the ILWU gave her a passion for workers' rights and drove her to dedicate her career to assisting workers. As an undergraduate at California State University of Long Beach, Evianna studied U.S. labor movement history to gain a deeper understanding of the context and background of our labor movement today. As a law student, Evianna seeks experiences that connect her to local worker communities.

Hannah Figueroa Velázquez | she/her

Hannah is 19 and just finished her first year of undergraduate school studying History at Yale University. She is interested in pursuing law school and is especially passionate about criminal justice and immigration rights. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Hannah is spending the summer volunteering at NWJP now that she is back home from college. She is excited to learn all about employment law.

Rowan Gossett | she/her

Rowan Gossett is a rising second-year law student at the University of Texas School of Law. She is a committed advocate for immigrant workers' rights and gender justice. Rowan graduated from Columbia University in 2020 with a degree in Human Rights and Hispanic Studies and recently returned to law school from a gap year spent in Argentina on a Fulbright fellowship. She moved to Texas to learn from immigrants' and reproductive rights advocates working on these issues at the border and is excited to bring her experiences with the workers' rights movement in Oregon this summer back to Austin.
