Before joining Penn Law School, Clayton was in-house counsel for CIGNA Corporation, a Fortune 500 employee benefits firm.

A former legal advocate with the Hale & Dorr Legal Services Center in Jamaica Plain, Mass., Clayton remains active in community service, including through her work with the Philadelphia Futures mentoring program, the Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and as a board member of the Bethel Bryn Mawr Child Care & Development Center.
