Born and raised in California, Gruenwald received a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy at UC Berkeley, where she focused on ethics and political philosophy. She is a first-generation student who is passionate about advocating for vulnerable communities. Gruenwald is particularly interested in constitutional law and civil rights litigation and hopes to use her J.D. degree to work for non-profit legal organizations.
FIRST AMENDMENT INTERN
