Alongside the EDJY team, Marian works to disrupt the school to prison pipeline. She represents students in school disciplinary proceedings and also works to provide juvenile record sealing services to people facing barriers as a result of their juvenile involvement. She also represents youth in their AB 12 Extended Foster Care Benefits matters and advocates to ensure that young people on the program are accessing the help they need. By helping young people stay in school and access work, housing, and other basic needs, Marian hopes to contribute to the creation of a community based safety net that enables young people to thrive.

Marian graduated Berkeley Law in 2025, and she then returned to EBCLC as the Brian Lewinstein Public Interest Fellow 2025-2027 with the EDJY Program. Marian’s involvement with EBCLC began in 2023 as a clinical student with the Clean Slate Program, and then she served on EBCLC’s board for two years as a student board member.

Throughout law school, Marian was interested in the holistic representation of people with intersecting vulnerabilities. At Berkeley Law, she participated as a leader with La Alianza Workers’ and Tenants’ Rights project and spent two semesters advocating for justice with the Human Rights Clinic. Outside of law school, she volunteered as a Spanish interpreter for asylum cases with Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCRSF) and as a teacher at Mt. Tamalpais College within San Quentin State Prison.
