Meet Alessandra Masciandaro, Institute for Privacy Protection Student Fellow 2019-2020


Alessandra Masciandaro currently is a 3L in the Weekend Program for the 2019-2020 school year. She received her B.A. in Philosophy with high honors from Douglass College of Rutgers University in 2007. After graduating, she found her way into a rewarding career as a teacher. She continues to teach full time, while attending law school on the weekends. Her experience in education involves creating and maintaining a multitude of private student records. In 2017, she decided to pursue a career as an attorney. Alessandra received her first exposure to Privacy Law in her Cybersecurity class. She was drawn to further pursue this area by her understanding of the rapidly increasing amount of personal information that is stored online.

In her free time, Alessandra enjoys CrossFit, yoga, and power lifting.
