Bre de Vera is from the San Francisco Bay Area, which very likely influenced her interests in technology law and free speech. In addition to being a Tech Law Scholar at Georgetown, she is a staff editor on the Georgetown Technology Law Review and a student attorney at the Georgetown Communications and Technology Law clinic. Bre also serves as treasurer for Georgetown Law’s Asian Pacific American Law Students Association and is a Public Interest Scholar.

During her 1L summer, Bre worked at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, where she worked on a variety of impact litigation cases with the goal of ensuring free speech protections. She most recently worked at National Public Radio, supporting their counsel and journalists with First Amendment work, Freedom of Information Act requests, and general contracts and governance work. She will be spending her 2L summer with the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, continuing her work of supporting journalists and promoting free speech and free press rights.

Prior to law school, Bre graduated from the University of Southern California, where she double majored in Journalism and English Literature. While at USC she worked as an editor, columnist, and writer at the university’s newspaper, the Daily Trojan, and as a desk editor at the multimedia platform Annenberg Media. Bre also worked at Los Angeles City Planning and Bay Area Rapid Transit, learning more about urban and transit planning and making cities safer, more accessible, and more equitable for all. Her keen interest in understanding and helping the cities and communities she lived in better informed her work in journalism and led her on the path to Georgetown Law.
