The ACLU of Washington has many wonderful interns who assist with our work. We would like you to meet some of them.
Megan Rubio loves experiencing new things, and thought that the ACLU would be the perfect place to be after completing an internship with the International Rescue Committee. A self-described helper, she is especially passionate about what the American Civil Liberties Union has to offer—from immersion in a broad spectrum of issues to involvement in a community of people with experiences and opinions to share. She loves what she does as a Legal Intake Counselor, and enjoys being able to pick up on new and interesting bits of information while directing people to resources.
Megan has never been one to do things in moderation. Eager to learn and to get a head start on living life as fully as possible, as a teenager she completed the Running Start program that combined course credits for both high school and college. Currently in her final quarter at Seattle University, she majors in Criminal Justice; she appreciates the wide variety of classes that Seattle U. offers, including Psychopathy and Forensic Psychology. She hopes her major will lead into a career that involves her passions: helping others and traveling.
Besides going to college and volunteering at the ACLU, Megan leads an active lifestyle. When she’s not working, she’s hanging out with friends and family, spending time with her boyfriend, or enjoying the outdoors. She loves hiking and rock climbing, and hopes to cross off some items on her bucket list by traveling somewhere in the world and meeting new people.
