      I worked closely with ABA's legal advisors, human rights groups, and pro bono attorneys to provide legal assistance to human rights defenders who are the subject of harassment in retaliation for their advocacy efforts. In addition, as a result I continue to gain invaluable insight into international human rights law and advocacy.
