“I am very grateful to be receiving this scholarship,” Gallo said. “I have been involved in HLSA since the fall semester and I look forward to continuing my support and participation within the organization.
“In my essay for the competition, I talked about assisting with creating a more inclusive environment for new law students. I look forward to working with the executive board of HLSA to make this happen. As a 1L, it was hard to adjust to law school. The members of HLSA assisted me and made me feel welcome. I hope to be able to do this for future students.”
Gallo earned her bachelor’s degree from Thiel College, where she majored in criminal justice, and minored in Spanish with an added focus on accounting. While completing her undergraduate work, she had the opportunity to intern for the Department of Defense, where she worked in the Cyber Security Operations Division, according to her LinkedIn profile.
