Evelyn is dedicated to breaking down barriers in reproductive healthcare and education. Her passion has led her to a career at the intersection of law and public health, with a focus on reproductive health policy.

In addition to these roles, she is honored to serve as an Equity and Inclusion Fellow and as a Toll Fellow. In her capacity as an Equity and Inclusion Fellow, Evelyn hopes to play a pivotal role in creating a nurturing space where students can forge connections, reflect on their law school experiences, and engage in meaningful conversations about equity and justice.

After her first year at Penn Carey Law, Evelyn interned at the AIDS Law Project of PA, a legal office that seeks justice and represents individuals living with HIV and AIDS.
