Author: Anjela Jenkins

Anjela’s research and other work at NLIRH focus on analyzing immigration policies that disproportionately affect Latina health and promoting policies to help eliminate health disparities. Anjela received her J.D. and M.A. in Government from the University of Texas at Austin in 2011. While in law school, Anjela was an advanced student in the Human Rights Clinic, as well as a member of the Chicano Hispanic Law Student Association, the Texas International Law Journal, and the Texas Hispanic Journal of Law and Policy. Outside of the law school, Anjela provided volunteer translation services and U Visa assistance at American Gateways, staffed Texas RioGrande Legal Aid's Telephone Access to Justice Project, and served as a pro bono law clerk at Catholic Charities of Central Texas Immigration Legal Services. In recognition of her commitment to public interest law, Anjela was honored by the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law as a Public Interest Scholar. Prior to law and graduate school, Anjela received her B.A. in International Development, International Relations, and Latin American Studies (with a minor in German) from Tulane University (Newcomb College).
