Jacqueline Merrill

Prior to joining the Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic in November 2022, Jacqueline worked at the Maine State Legislature, organized electoral campaigns in Maine, New Hampshire, and California, and tutored English as a second language at Bard College and the University of Khartoum.

Jacqueline received her undergraduate degree from Bard College in cultural anthropology and completed certificate language programs at the El Carmen Spanish School and at the University of Virginia. As an undergraduate, she studied abroad for two semesters at the American University of Beirut and completed her senior thesis on the reconstruction of downtown Beirut following the Lebanese Civil War.
