About

Gabrielle Shea is originally from Remsenburg, New York.  She attended Wake Forest University and graduated with a self-designed interdisciplinary major in Ethics and Public Policy and a minor in Chemistry.  While in college, she worked in a computational biophysics lab for three years, wrote an honors thesis entitled “Nonprofit Expansion Strategy in Sub-Saharan African Contexts,” and spent a summer interning at a global health nonprofit in Washington, D.C.  After graduation, she moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked as an analyst at an economic and financial litigation consulting firm. 

Gabrielle is thrilled to begin her legal career this summer by interning with International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) in Geneva. IBJ is a nonprofit organization that works to promote due process rights and to curtail investigative torture and pre-trial detention worldwide.  To fulfill this mission, IBJ offers training manuals, country assessment and scorecard tools, and other resources that support human rights attorneys, criminal justice defenders, prosecutors, and police.  IBJ currently maintains an active presence in eight countries and plans to expand to eighteen more in the years ahead.
