The LAW.Way in Action
Hi, I’m Lissie Albornoz—artist, advocate, and proud mom of two. I’m a Venezuelan attorney and a soon-to-be graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, where I’m earning a joint J.D./LL.M. degree in U.S. and Transnational Law. My journey has taken me from family courts in Caracas to human rights advocacy in Washington, D.C.—and I’ve brought my purpose, resilience, and passion every step of the way.
