 New FWU staff: Lindsey Moore
My name is Lindsey and I am Legal Aid's new Human Trafficking Initiative Paralegal. I came to Legal Aid with experience working as a family defense advocate in Bronx, New York and as a Translator and English teacher in Santiago, Chile. I grew up in North Carolina and after time away I’m excited to get back to fighting for my community and issues important here at home. I hope that my work on our team will help to improve our service to clients and better meet the needs of victims and their families.
