Michelle Patino is a data security analyst in Pacific Legal Foundation’s Washington, DC, office, where she supports security operations and serves as the primary IT support for the DC office.
Michelle graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and is currently pursuing a Master of Science in cybersecurity. While completing her undergraduate studies, she supported legal clinics that represented under-resourced communities. That experience sparked her interest in being a part of a mission-driven team at PLF.
