Lindsey Harriman
Hello! I’m Lindsey, and I’m a senior studying philosophy and classics. When I’m not practicing for competitions or learning about the Romans, I enjoy thrifting and hanging out with my cat, Gorbie. I’m looking forward to being one of your presidents and shaping our program into a safe environment for students to develop their confidence and find their voices!
Jessica "Jess" Cannella
Hi, I’m Jess! I am a senior at CU majoring in psychology with a minor in philosophy. I have been doing mock trial since I was in middle school and thoroughly enjoy being a part of this community. Outside of academics and mock trial, I enjoy spending time with friends, being outdoors, and chilling with my cat (Juno). As one of your presidents, I hope to foster a welcoming environment for everyone on our team!
Abby Devyak
Hi, I’m Abby! I am currently a sophomore studying Finance at the Leeds School of Business. My academic interests lie in the synthesis of business and law; hence, I aspire to attend law school following my undergraduate degree. I am excited to collaborate with our team to better interpret our judicial system. While participating in the CU Mock Trial program, I have enjoyed learning about advocacy and found a passion for doing so, especially in a competitive setting! Outside of my academic pursuits, I can be found with friends, hiking Chautauqua, or watching a good show/game!
Taran Guin
I’m a junior majoring in political science. I love mock trial and in my free time I like to go skiing and hiking. I also work as a paralegal specializing in civil litigation.
Sienna Fischer
I am a sophomore studying biomedical engineering. I am part of the marching band here at CU. I love reading, cooking, and hiking some of the trials here in Boulder!
Kayla Anderson
Hey! My name is Kayla Anderson and I’m your Community Outreach Officer. I’m a Political Science major/Communication minor here at CU. I’m currently a Junior at CU and hoping to pursue a career in law. If you have any questions about our mock trial community, don’t be afraid to reach out and ask. I’m so excited to work with everyone in our upcoming season!
Charlie Grow
Hi! I’m Charlie. I’m a junior studying political science. I’m excited to be the head of recruitment and make mock trial fun and inclusive. When I’m not in mock trial I’m the Vice President of my gender inclusive fraternity, and I love getting outside with friends.
