My name is Maria Pellegrini.  I'm a stay at home mom. I’ve worked at a law firm, a senior services nonprofit, and a hospital group. 

How did you first hear about ILAO?

I learned about ILAO in law school in Chicago.

I am passionate about ILAO’s mission to make the law more accessible. 

What did you gain from your experience with ILAO?

It’s so rewarding to know the articles I work on are helping real people with legal issues. 

Why should others get involved with ILAO?

It makes a difference in our community. You can use your expertise to help so many people.  

If you had an alternative career, what would it be?
