Daniella Cohensedgh

Programming VP Hometown: Los Angeles

Hi! My name is Daniella Cohensedgh and I am a 2L at Georgetown Law. Prior to pursuing my law degree, I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with my bachelor's degree in Sociology.

Judaism has always been a central part of my life and staying connected to my Jewish traditions and beliefs has been a priority for me during law school which is why I joined JLSA and got involved with JGSI. My involvement in both organizations has allowed me to create strong connections with other students and to continue to expand my knowledge on Judaism and why it is so important to me!
