Kaplan Workers’ Rights Fellowship, intended to train recent law school graduates dedicated to worker justice. Ms. Jenks received a law degree from Harvard Law School.

She has worked at Catholic Migration Services, where she advocated on behalf of refugees and helped protect them from deportation.

Prior to attending law school, Ms. Jenks aided low-wage individuals as an intern for Legal Action of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI, while obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and French from Northwestern University.
