Meet Carra Cicalese
Carra Cicalese began her academic journey at the University of South Carolina, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in International Studies in 2021. During her time there, she was an active member of Alpha Chi Omega and developed a strong interest in global relations and advocacy. Her passion for justice and communication led her to pursue a legal education at the Charleston School of Law, where she obtained her Juris Doctor in 2024. While in law school, Carra was deeply involved in campus organizations, including the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and was President of her Law School's ALDF chapter, experiences that helped strengthen her advocacy skills and commitment to service.
Carra gained practical legal experience through a series of internships and clerkships that exposed her to both the public and private sides of the legal system. She honed her research, writing, and litigation skills while working in state courts and assisting with complex legal matters. Now based in Medford, Massachusetts, Carra serves as an attorney with a focus on helping individuals navigate challenging legal issues with care and determination. Outside of work, she enjoys connecting with her community and continuing to grow as a compassionate and dedicated advocate for her clients.
