Law Student Speaker

Natalie M. Peters

Natalie M. Peters is from West Barnstable, Massachusetts. At UMass Law she has served as Lead Editor of UMass Law Review, as Treasurer of the Federalist Society during her first year in law school, and as President during her second and third years. She was awarded a 2022 Civic Action Program Fellowship where she engaged with lawmakers and policymakers to learn different approaches to impacting public policy.

Born and raised in Southern Illinois, Natalie has a B.S. in Dietetics from Southern Illinois University. Before law school, she was a nutritionist for Baltimore City’s WIC program and has edited books on investment strategies and on the history of currency and banking. She has also managed a social media campaign for a judicial candidate and marketing for a biotech startup. But by far her most important, most challenging, and most rewarding job has been raising four incredible children. She is unspeakably proud of them.

Her husband, William, is a saint who supported and encouraged her, believing in her abilities even when she did not. Her husband and children endured many sacrifices and dinnerless nights so that Natalie could pursue her Juris Doctor. She is eternally thankful to them for their love and support, along with her parents, Hon. James and Cynthia Moore. After law school, Natalie will clerk for Justice Robinson at the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
