Carol litigates cases with our partners to remedy systemic inequities that affect older adults across the nation. On behalf of Justice in Aging, she recently led cases that secured due process rights for Medicare beneficiaries nationwide, and restored critical Medicaid benefits to hundreds of thousands of older adults, persons with disabilities, and others who wrongfully lost them during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.
Carol was drawn to this work because of her immigrant grandfather. He was an individual with limited English proficiency and was fortunate to have family who helped him navigate various government programs. Because many others do not have similar support, Carol’s work advocates for changes that address challenges older adults face in accessing benefits and services.
Previously, Carol was a Senior Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division. While at the Department, Carol completed a detail to the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders where she focused on improving opportunities and access to federal resources for underserved Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Carol received her law degree from the University of Illinois College of Law.
Outside of work, Carol channels her energy into figure skating, distance running, skiing, and swimming. She also relishes exploring the world with her spouse and two children.
