She received her bachelor’s degree in Economics from Princeton University, magna cum laude, and she earned certificates in Cognitive Science and the History and Practice of Diplomacy. While at Princeton, she wrote two theses, one researching the effects of the 2014 Medicaid expansion on adolescent ADHD diagnosis and medication rates, and another exploring the effects of “ban-the-box” policies on formerly incarcerated persons’ rehabilitation measures. Before pursuing law, Evanko worked in the US Department of Justice on counterterrorism and counterintelligence matters. She also worked at MCIC Vermont, a leading medical malpractice insurance company, where she evaluated the sexual harassment and abuse policies of the company’s major hospital clients. Evanko has a passion for children’s rights advocacy and domestic violence work; she was a volunteer childcare provider at Hope’s Door, a domestic violence shelter, and a volunteer camp counselor and teacher’s assistant at Neighbor’s Link, an organization that works towards the healthy integration of immigrants. As a 2024 Rappaport Fellow, Evanko will intern at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office in the Child Protection Unit.
