Signy helps to support the World Justice Project through day-to-day functioning with assisting our Executive Director, Board of Directors, and to assist with the overall strategy of WJP. While occasionally assisting with the Development team’s operations, her main work focuses on supporting our team’s overall functions with tasks such as organizational policy management, internal coordination, expense reporting, and other background tasks.

Before joining WJP, Signy spent her ongoing college career researching and learning about the American Legal System, including equal access to justice and the barriers many face in this regard, such as the lack of public education on the legal system and how to remedy these issues.

Signy is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies and Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is also pursuing the “Criminology and the Criminal Justice System” and “Social Work & Social Welfare” Certificates at UMass Amherst and plans to become certified before she graduates.
