It is our great pleasure to introduce our new IntLawGrrls contributors Nathalie Greenfield and Gabriela Markolovic. Nathalie and Gabriela are third-year Juris Doctor students and Charles Evan Hughes Scholars at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York. Nathalie is a graduate of the University of Cambridge (UK), where she received her Master’s degree in cultural policy, and she worked in gender equality policy at the European Parliament before starting at Cornell. Prior to law school, Gabriela received her Bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University, minoring in International Relations and Law and Society.
Between August 2019 and May 2020, Nathalie and Gabriela were students in Professor Sandra Babcock’s International Human Rights Clinic at Cornell. During their time in the clinic, Nathalie and Gabriela represented defendants facing the death penalty in Tanzania in their appeals to the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, identifying novel legal claims involving sexual and gender-based violence.
In 2021, Nathalie and Gabriela will continue working on behalf of incarcerated women in an advanced international human rights clinic, and are keen to tackle gender-based discrimination and contribute to the advancement of women in the legal profession.
