Join the two recipients of the 2024 Elbaz Family Post-Graduate Fellowship for a discussion of their work and how it impacted their career trajectory. José Chiquito '24 will talk about his work at Sin Fronteras, a civil society organization providing free legal assistance to migrants settled in Mexico City and Riley Green '24 will talk about her work at The Sentry, an NGO that seeks to hold war profiteers and kleptocrats to account.
José Chiquito is a first-generation Mexican-American raised in both Mexico and the United States. As the oldest son in a mixed-status family, José has focused his studies and early career on serving immigrant communities. He spent his Elbaz year in Mexico working with Sin Fronteras, a civil society organization providing free legal assistance to migrants settling in Mexico City. After his year at Sin Fronteras, José remained in Mexico City, where he continues to grow his binational network of human rights advocates. He recently completed a post-grad certificate from El Colef, one of Mexico's leading research institutes on international migration.
Riley Green, born and raised in Colorado, now lives in Washington, D.C. and works in anti-financial crime. She spent her Elbaz year in D.C. as a research and data analyst for The Sentry, a nongovernmental organization that seeks to hold war profiteers and kleptocrats to account. At The Sentry, she built visualizations of illicit financial networks, supported an investigation of the Wagner group's activity in Mali, and analyzed gaps between sanction regimes. Now a full-time financial crime fighter, Riley is the Project Coordinator for Thought Leadership at ACAMS (The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists). At ACAMS, Riley supports international efforts between the public and private sectors to prevent fraud, money laundering, and sanction evasion.
