Sofia Calvo Castillo

Sofia Calvo Castillo grew up in Costa Rica and graduated from Seton Hall University in December 2020. She received a B.S in Diplomacy and International Relations and a minor in Japanese. In her undergraduate senior thesis, Sofia discussed the social and economic impact of migration from Nicaragua to Costa Rica, which inspired her to pursue a career in immigration. She interned with the Refugee Representation Department at Human Rights First in New York City, and after graduation was a humanitarian immigration paralegal in New Jersey. At CLS, Sofia is part of the Public Interest/Public Service Fellows, the 1L Human Rights Advocates, and is excited about becoming a member of the Asylum & Refugee Moot Court team. She is interested in the intersection of international human rights and refugee law among others. In her free time, she enjoys traveling and catching up on her favorite shows with her cat, Nala.
