Eliana comes to Yale Divinity School from Davis, California, where she worked at the Yolo County Public Defender’s Office after graduating from Yale College in 2021. During her undergraduate experience, Eliana studied poetry and human rights. At YDS, Eliana is continuing to write her own poetry and study different art forms as sites of memory. From her experiences in direct service, Eliana has developed a particular concern for how we not only alleviate the suffering of those who are incarcerated or unhoused, but also how we honor and remember the dignity of all those who pass in these circumstances.
