While completing her degrees in Biology and Applied Sociology at the University of Tampa, Bridget continued interning with the ACLU of Florida in the Criminal Justice Reform Campaign. In this role, she participated in Lobby Day for the Amendment 4 campaign and had the opportunity to work on bail, driver’s license, and sentencing reform efforts. After graduating from college in 2020, Bridget began a six-month full-time internship in the Statewide Initiatives Department at the ACLU of Florida. In this role, she was responsible for communicating information between the state affiliate and various Chapters. She worked on police reform efforts in targeted cities across Florida and has continued in this role as a volunteer.
Bridget came to FADP in early 2021 and began working as a part-time Administrative Assistant. She quickly realized her deep passion for abolition work and soon increased her hours and responsibilities with the organization. Now, Bridget serves as FADP’s full-time Communications Coordinator. In this role, Bridget is responsible for cultivating and retaining FADP’s network of thousands of supporters. In addition, she creates and implements the tools and resources members use in their advocacy efforts. In 2023, Bridget began her adventure as a first-year law student while continuing to work full-time for FADP. This allows her the unique advantage of having knowledge of the law and practice within the law. She plans to graduate with her JD and continue to stand up fearlessly for the most vulnerable members of our society.
