Tiffani joined the ACLU of Maine as an intern in Spring 2021 and returned in the fall as our 2021-2023 Fellow. Her role is primarily with Communications and Engagement where she works on creating long-term advocacy and engagement initiatives.  

Their interest in advocacy and engagement sparked at a young age with their participation in Seeds of Peace and Girls State learning about local, national, and global politics. This interest grew into a passion through her exploration of liberation movements and socio-political implications of popular culture during undergrad. 

As a born and raised Mainer, their goal as a Fellow is to support the ACLU of Maine in sustaining and expanding community engagement into every corner of the state.  

Tiffani has a Bachelor of Arts in International Development and Social Change with a Concentration in Peace Studies from Clark University. As an undergraduate, she was awarded the Joe De Rivera Peace Prize for her commitment to conflict resolution and transformation through her studies and community involvement.
