Marisa earned her Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law, where she excelled in International Human Rights & Disability Law. Her passion for advocacy and justice was evident throughout her academic journey. During her studies, she served as a student attorney at the Criminal Defense Clinic at Syracuse University College of Law, where she represented and appeared in court on behalf of clients within the local criminal justice system.
