Eva earned her Bachelors in Political Science from Amherst College in 2018. While at Amherst, she interned at several nonprofit organizations focused on youth advocacy and development in marginalized communities (particularly in gentrifying neighborhoods) in Holyoke, Massachusetts and San Francisco, California. Leaving Amherst for New York, she started as a paralegal at Cuti Hecker Wang LLP, a civil rights law firm where she primarily worked on housing discrimination, workplace harassment, and childhood sex abuse. Eva has a commitment to breaking cycles of violence.  Her experiences have solidified her belief that physical and mental health and community building are fundamental in reducing systemic inequality. She is excited to join the HEAL team as a Program Associate.
