Olivia Buscho | FA:IR Law Project | Staff Attorney
Olivia grew up in rural Northern California and Southern Oregon. After her undergraduate education, she worked as a barista and volunteered at what was then the only free health care clinic in Brookings, Oregon, run in the basement of a local church. Growing up in fiercely conservative and rural areas where the most vulnerable community members were left behind or actively harmed by local government and elites, Olivia found community throughout undergraduate school, and finally in Portland in 2014. Throughout her time at Lewis & Clark Law School, she interned at the Oregon Innocence Project and Federal Public Defender, and after law school worked at the Community Law Division at Metropolitan Public Defender before joining the FA:IR Law Project.
