She graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont, where she studied Philosophy and Italian and was a co-captain of the Varsity Lacrosse team. After college, she spent two years with Green Corps, the Field School for Environmental Organizing. She lived in seven cities across the country creating volunteer based campaigns on a range of issues, from sustainable fishing methods to divesting from coal power. This experience gave her a first-hand perspective on the effects of big money in politics and drove her to move back to D.C. where she spent the next three years lobbying on campaign finance reform as the Democracy Advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. She is spending her 1L year... well, reading mostly, but also serving as a 1L Rep for the Environmental Law Project, playing any and all sports, and over-enthusiastically participating in the Penn Law Bowling League. She looks forward to participating in the Williams Institute Moot Court Competition this winter. Chet Eckman, Class of 2017
