As a "technologist"—someone who loves technology, advocates for its advancement, and believes in its ability to solve problems great and small—Boiangin knew early on that Miami Law was an obvious choice for her legal education. When she applied, she says, "Miami Law was one of the most innovative law schools that I had come across—and it still is."
She has carried her pro bono ethic with her this past summer, to a law, innovation, and technology clerk position at Carlton Fields. The firm members—particularly Jason Kairalla, President of the University of Miami Law Alumni Association, and Chair of the Carlton Fields Tech Innovation Task Force, and Peter Hitson, Director of Legal Project and Practice Management—are providing technology and training to support her ongoing efforts to create an online platform that provides resources to victims of nonconsensual pornography, which benefits the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) and its clients.
"Talia's idea to develop an app for victims," said Professor Mary Anne Franks, President of CCRI, "requires equal parts vision, attention to detail, tech-savvy, and coordination amongst multiple partners…[and] we are very excited to see how it develops!"
