Class of 2025

Donara Aghajani graduated magna cum laude from the University of Southern California in 2020, earning a B.A. in Political Science with a pre-law emphasis and completed a Departmental honors thesis: Intergroup Emotions Theory and Collective Identity: A Study on the Armenian Diaspora of Southern California. While in undergrad, she became interested in the intersection of technology and law. She completed a research proposal applying Kantian Ethics to morality in AI and she also took several Computer Science and Information Security classes.

She will be joining Goodwin Procter’s Santa Monica office during the summer of 2023 as a 1L Diversity Fellow, interested in exploring the practice areas of technology transactions and emerging companies/venture capital.

Born in Iran and raised in Southern California, Donara holds strong ties to her Iranian and Armenian heritages as a member of both diasporas. She is a native Armenian speaker and hopes to one day perfect her Armenian reading and writing skills. She also hopes to one day facilitate a program to provide innovative technology and resources to Armenia, especially to regions most in need of renewable resources. In her free time, Donara loves to explore coffee shops in search of the best cortado, explore different cultures while traveling, and play tennis.
