Madhu is best known for her leadership, mastery of the rules of evidence, unwavering work ethic, and outstanding service to RUMTA. Her success extends far beyond her time in RUMTA.

In the Winter of 2018, she co-led an alternative break trip to Atlanta, GA to work with the Georgia Capital Defender’s Office. During her time in law school, Madhu worked in NYU Law’s Racial Justice Clinic, where she worked with the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project. She was also a student fellow with the Center for Race, Inequality, and the Law, Co-Chair of Alternative Breaks, and Vice President of the NYU Law Trial Advocacy Society. 

In the future, Madhu hopes to practice civil rights law with a focus on criminal and racial justice reform.
