For Megan Hogan, navigating the intersection of immigration law and advocacy is not just a profession but a deeply personal journey. Hearing about the challenging experiences of her family’s immigration journey from the Dominican Republic to the United States has driven Hogan’s commitment to championing the rights of refugees and asylum seekers.
From her formative years in Brooklyn Heights to her current role at Goldman Sachs, Hogan’s trajectory is a testament to resilience and determination. With a legal background rooted in pro bono clinics and immigration justice centers, she brings a unique blend of expertise and empathy to her work.
In today’s landscape, Hogan’s perspective sheds light on immigrant communities’ challenges and the importance of inclusive leadership. She catalyzes meaningful change by sharing her story, amplifying underrepresented voices, and inspiring others to join the fight for equity and justice.
