Here at our office, we know Angelique Sanchez for her optimism, kindness and warmth. But she does much more than create a positive atmosphere in the office; as the Program Assistant for our Justice Reform team, she supports the attorneys on her team by taking charge of scheduling, organizing communications, and much more. She says that her dedication comes from the love and support she had growing up and the example set by her family, especially her grandparents. For #HispanicHeritageMonth, she shared how keeping the stories and memories of her grandparents alive has helped her achieve her goals and remember her roots.
