CUB is excited to welcome Sofia Aviles (she/her) as our Summer Law Clerk. Sofia is a rising 2L at Vermont Law and Graduate School and hopes to learn more about energy regulation and consumer advocacy through this clerkship.
Before attending law school, Sofia studied Political Science and Sustainability Studies at the University of Florida. There, she joined the Sunrise Movement and co-founded the Green New Deal for UF campaign. During that time, she also worked as a project coordinator for the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department, where she was a primary author for their Climate Action Plan. These experiences solidified her desire to address climate change, energy inequality, and the just transition to clean, reliable energy. She is bringing an intersectional approach to energy law as she works on wildfire liability and cap-and-trade issues this summer.
Outside of burying her face in law textbooks, Sofia likes to go on hikes with her partner and dog (Skit), bake pies, and sing in her local choir. This is her first time in the Pacific Northwest, and she is excited to spend this summer exploring Portland’s parks, rivers, and, most importantly, its food scene.
Join CUB in welcoming Sofia!
