Ellie Higgins has joined the NFTA as our new legal intern. She has a BA from St. John Fisher University and is a J.D. Candidate at the University at Buffalo School of Law. 

In addition to her studies, she serves as the Associate Editor of the Buffalo Law Review, a position she earned based on her first-year grades, casenote score, and written submission. This appointment is a great honor and underscores her finely honed skills in legal research and her ability to write clearly and concisely.

Ellie is very excited to spend her summer with the NFTA and to learn from our esteemed attorneys. Her background includes three years of valuable experience as a legal assistant for Hodgson Russ, a period during which she also completed her undergraduate studies. This experience has equipped her with a solid foundation and solid understanding of the legal field, making her a valuable addition to our team.

She is from South Buffalo and enjoys spending time with her black lab, Ghillie, trying new restaurants with friends, and skiing in the winter. She is very interested in learning as much as she can about the NFTA, so please feel free to share your knowledge and experiences with her. Ellie is located on the 6th Floor at the MTC.
