In her third year, Tuba joined the Amelia A. Gould Representation in Mediation Clinic, helping pro se litigants navigate employment law matters.
After graduation, Tuba clerked at a prominent Westchester construction and labor law firm, later expanding her litigation and trial preparation experience in personal injury defense. She ultimately returned to her passion for employment advocacy and joined White, Rose & Hilferty, where she remains dedicated to protecting employees’ rights and amplifying their voices.
