She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, and was elected as the graduation commencement speaker.

While at Suffolk, Attorney Sanders was chosen as a Marshall Brennan Constitutional Law Fellow, a program that allowed her to teach Constitutional Law and Literacy as well as coach Moot Court at City on a Hill Charter School in Roxbury. Additionally, she earned the John E. Fenton Jr. Award for Public Service for her commitment to helping those in need of legal services. Prior to joining Cohen Cleary, Attorney Sanders worked as a Massachusetts Public Defender for the Committee for Public Counsel Services.
