NoHLA is fortunate to have two talented legal interns joining us for the summer. 

Nora Hendricks is a rising third year law student at Seattle University with a deep commitment to policy and advocacy. Prior to law school, Nora spent two years working at the Tennessee Justice Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where she worked with clients encountering problems with Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs and assisted with Medicaid policy advocacy work. She spent last summer working as an Equal Justice Works Fellow at Southeast Louisiana Legal Services where she assisted with eviction defense cases and learned about landlord-tenant law. At Seattle University, Nora is on the board of the Public Interest Law Foundation, Health Law Society, and If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice (If/When/How), a national network of law students dedicated to furthering reproductive justice. Nora says she is happy to be back in the Pacific Northwest and is excited to be working at NoHLA this summer and to be learning more about health policy advocacy.

Kabitanjali Amatya is a rising second year law student at the University of Washington. With a diverse professional background in law, economics, and communication, she is committed to using her multidisciplinary skills to contribute to the betterment of her community. To foster inclusivity and a supportive environment, she actively serves as the VP of Mentorship for Asian/Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA) and the media chair for If/When/How. With her experience as a Nepali language interpreter, Kabitanjali is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by diverse communities in accessing healthcare. She looks forward to leveraging her time at NoHLA to contribute to the organization’s important work in promoting equitable healthcare solutions.
