YCBA Welcomes Spring Intern - Whitney Warner

The York County Bar is thrilled to welcome Whitney Warner to the team as our Spring Intern. 

Whitney is a dedicated and resilient professional currently pursuing her master's in public policy and administration at York College of Pennsylvania, with aspirations to contribute to the legal landscape through a forthcoming law school journey. As a member of the Tri-Alpha honors society, she has demonstrated academic excellence, achieving a remarkable 3.9 GPA during her undergraduate studies.

Whitney's journey through academia has been marked by perseverance and determination, overcoming systemic racial discrimination and facing personal adversities. Despite these challenges, she emerged with a profound understanding of the disparities within the legal system. Her experiences fueled a passion for justice, leading her to pursue a legal career focused on reshaping policy decisions.

With a background in retail operations and non-profit work, Whitney has actively engaged with her community, organizing events, fundraisers, and advocating for free community services. Her experiences as a small business owner and academic researcher have equipped her with a unique perspective on community needs and social support programs.

In her pursuit of a legal career, Whitney envisions a comprehensive overhaul of social programs, using her legal knowledge to propose cost-effective and efficient alternatives. Her goal is to address the discrepancies in the current structure of public support programs, emphasizing a commitment to ensuring that every American has access to basic necessities in a safe and comfortable environment.

Whitney also serves as a dedicated volunteer for Barrier Breakers, a nonprofit specializing in creating pathways to law school for marginalized brown and black communities. Her work there is data-driven, focusing on collecting and analyzing information to measure student success and impact.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Whitney finds joy in creative outlets, particularly in creating beautiful public spaces. A horseback riding enthusiast, she cherishes time spent with her children, husband, and two dogs. Whether engaged in home improvement projects or seeking adventures outside her comfort zone, Whitney approaches life with a passion for positive change.

As she embarks on her legal journey, Whitney Warner stands as a testament to resilience, determination, and a commitment to making a lasting impact on social policies and the well-being of communities across America.
