Devin MacGoy is a rising 2L and Public Service Scholar at Boston College Law School. He graduated cum laude from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service. Before law school, MacGoy was a community organizer with GreenRoots, a community–based organization in Chelsea and East Boston that fights for environmental justice for low-income and immigrant communities. His work centered on building a grassroots movement for energy democracy — the idea that historically marginalized communities should have the opportunity to shape our energy system to narrow economic and health inequalities. MacGoy has also worked as a legislative assistant in the Virginia House of Delegates, a health insurance navigator for a legal aid agency in North Carolina, and an English teacher in Slovakia on a Fulbright scholarship. In his free time, MacGoy loves hiking in the mountains of New England. As a 2025 Rappaport Fellow, MacGoy will intern with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.
