Aya Daisey is a Legal Assistant in the Washington, DC office of Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, a national law firm with offices in the District of Columbia, New York, California, and Tennessee. She graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. in International Relations and a minor in Human Rights. Aya also received her Paralegal Certificate at Delaware Technical Community College, where she graduated with high distinction and was recognized for achieving the Dean’s List.

At Stanford University, Aya Daisey served as Vice President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. She also chaired the Advocate for Social Justice Committee, where she organized educational programs and events that raised awareness about social issues affecting the campus community. Aya was also an active member of the Black Student Union, serving as Co-Chair of the Community Service Committee. In this role, she planned and led service initiatives aimed at supporting underserved communities, including programs designed to engage and uplift residents of East Palo Alto. Aya’s passion for public interest and community preservation also led to her involvement with the East Palo Alto Community Archive, where she aided in their mission to preserve and protect the history and cultural heritage of East Palo Alto’s residents through accessibility efforts. Aya’s commitment to service and community engagement continues to shape the work she hopes to pursue in the future.
 

Aya is excited to begin her public interest journey at Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, where she will join the Qui Tam and Whistleblower team in the fight against fraud, waste, and abuse. She looks forward to deepening her understanding of the legal field and is eager to contribute to a firm so deeply committed to its clients.

In her free time, Aya loves to try new matcha places, read a good fantasy book, and is learning ASL. She has a passion for exploring libraries and museums and is super excited to be in a city with an abundance of both.
