The ACLU successfully won his case before the US Supreme Court in Michael Nukk vs the United States, firmly implanting the Nukk family’s dedication to equality.
Outside of work, Katherin is a proud mother of three and a devoted football and lacrosse mom, supported by her amazing husband. She’s also an avid fan of hard-hitting tennis, California hikes, international travel, and leadership and unconscious bias literature.
