The ADL Mountain States Region is thrilled to welcome back Talia Richland as a returning intern! After an impactful summer with us in 2024, Talia has been busy pursuing her passions in law, advocacy, and social justice.

Since wrapping up her first internship with ADL, Talia returned to Boston to complete her undergraduate degrees at Northeastern University, graduating in December with a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in History, Culture, and Law. Following graduation, she embarked on a journey to Israel on Birthright, experiencing the Jewish homeland firsthand. She then traveled to Mexico and Costa Rica for a meaningful volunteer program teaching English to local children.

Now back in Denver, Talia is making an impact both at ADL and as a pre-law intern at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office. She is especially excited to get more involved with policy and advocacy during the current state and federal legislative sessions.

Reflecting on her time at ADL, Talia shared that the welcoming and supportive environment she experienced last summer made her eager to return. “Working at ADL has solidified my desire to seek out a career where I can use my skillset for good,” she said. This fall, she will take the next step in her journey by attending Michigan Law School, where she hopes to use her legal education to pursue justice and fair treatment for all.

We are proud to have Talia back on our team and can’t wait to see the incredible work she will accomplish!
