Rosie La Puma Lebel

Rosie is in her final year of a joint J.D. and Masters in International Policy at Stanford Law School and the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute, respectively. Through her two degrees, she has sought to focus on short and long-term responses to the issues of immigration, human rights, and climate justice. As a law student, she has served on leadership for the Stanford Human Rights Law Association, Stanford Advocates for Immigrants Rights, Stanford Environmental Law Journal, and the Disability and Mental Health Network at Stanford. She has also served clients through the Workers Rights Pro Bono Project and the Environmental Law Clinic. Prior to grad school, she worked for several years as a Development Manager at Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP), where she has helped raise millions of dollars to support Latino-led and Latino-serving nonprofits throughout the United States and across Latin America. Before arriving at HIP, Rosie served as a Program Assistant in the Refugee and Immigrant Program at The Advocates for Human Rights through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, where she ran the intake process to connect asylum seekers to pro bono attorneys. She has a B.A. in International Relations and a minor in Creative Writing from Stanford University. When not working, Rosie enjoys hiking, going to shows and making music with her husband Eric and newborn son James.
