“I joined the Public Interest Experts Board because I care deeply about making high-quality expert work accessible for public interest cases.

The current landscape lacks sufficient pro-bono resources, and there are too few people dedicated to expanding these essential services. The best representation demands the best experts, and we are committed to ensuring that public interest cases receive top-tier support, regardless of financial incentives.

My experience as an Analyst at Brattle underscored the significant gap in dedicated resources for these cases, and I am thrilled to be part of the solution.”
