Litigation Assistant

Sorangel Liriano is a Litigation Assistant based out of the Northeast Office in New York.

Sorangel graduated in 2018 from Columbia University, where she studied Political Science and Human Rights. She has a long-standing interest in environmental justice, stemming from her experience growing up near a heavily polluting detergent factory in the Dominican Republic. Before joining Earthjustice, Sorangel worked with the New York City Urban Debate League, the New York Times, the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, and buildOn, an organization that pairs with high school students to build schools in developing countries.
