Lucy Nelissen

As a graduate of the University of Calgary, having earned a BA in Law & Society along with a minor in Sociology, I am truly passionate about Legal Aid, specifically pertaining to human rights. I am looking to utilize my academic skills in a new setting, where I may increase my own knowledge, whilst making a meaningful contribution to your company.
