Sheridan Macy

Sheridan triple-majored political science, history, and global studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She earned her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 2024 and is a member of the Pennsylvania bar association. She has previously worked in international human rights, environmental law, and civic education. She is also interested in state and local law and policy, and especially loves the Nebraska unicameral. Sheridan was motivated to join FIRE in 2025 by her strong belief in government accountability and her experiences working with individuals/groups who have put their lives at risk to speak out in countries which lack the speech protections we take for granted in the U.S.

In her free time, she paints, learns about Roman history, space, and evolution, feeds birds, and reads romance and sci-fi. She has two cats, Birb and Tortor, and has recently befriended a crow.
