In Her Own Words // “My segment in the film ‘No Matter What’ won the best powder award at the 2013 Powder Video Awards. At Vermont Law School, I wrote a peer-reviewed legal article on resolving environmental disputes that won the highest award in legal writing in the U.S.—I received the award from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Library of Congress.
