Staff Attorney

Piper is a Staff Attorney in the Immigration Legal Program, where she represents currently and formerly detained individuals before USCIS, EOIR, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the Ninth Circuit. She holds a B.A. from UCLA and a J.D. from UC Hastings College of the Law. Piper’s passion for immigrants’ rights began when she lived in Latin America with a youth exchange program in high school and college. During law school, she interned with CARECEN SF, and learned she loved interacting with clients in direct service work. Piper was also a policy intern at National Immigration Law Center, where her work centered around immigration reform and policies that affect detained immigrants. She was the editor of the UC Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal and participated in the Refugee and Human Rights Clinic through the UC Hastings Center for Gender and Refugee Studies. Prior to working with CARECEN SF, she worked with youth and families as a Staff Attorney at Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland.
