After the storm, she moved to the Tampa Bay/St.Petersburg area and served as a staff attorney for Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit. She is licensed in both Florida and Louisiana.
While in law school, Professor Cerniglia was active in Loyola’s Moot Court program and was a finalist in the 1L Moot Court Competition, a team member of the International Environmental and National Moot Court Competitions and recipient of the Clem H.

She is excited about the opportunity to return to New Orleans and continue her career in legal education, specifically dedicated to the Carnegie initiatives of integrated experiential skill courses.
