Hilary is the law clerk for the Law Office of Steven A. Denny. She is currently a student at Loyola University School of Law and Graduate School of Social Work, where she is working toward a Juris Doctor and a
Master of Social Work.

In the Fall of 2014, Hilary was humbled to be inducted into Loyola’s chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit honor society dedicated to scholarship, loyalty, and service. During her time studying law and social work, Hilary has explored and strengthened her fervor for civil rights, especially women’s rights and disability rights issues. Her social work internships have allowed her to become involved with women’s rights issues by working with survivors of domestic violence through direct practice, and by decreasing sexual exploitation through prevention and education with high school students. Hilary’s studies in disability law have inspired her to author a paper entitled, “A Question of Reason: Testing the Ashley Treatment,” which will soon be published in Volume 15 of Praxis: Where Reflection and Practice Meet.

Hilary is originally from Wyoming, where beef is a way of life. As a vegetarian, she is enjoying Chicago as a city with a lot of diversity and dietary considerations. Hilary attended college at the University of Wyoming, which is where she met the man that would become her husband.

It is Hilary’s passion and calling to live out her faith by serving and helping others. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, spending time with people, and playing a game called “Magic: The Gathering.”
