For Kathleen ‘Kate’ Daniels Imbesi, JD ’99, the decision to attend Suffolk University Law School provided two benefits in one. “I had heard about Suffolk Law and how it was such a solid, strong education,” she says. “And I loved Boston so much—I wanted to spend more time there.” Imbesi has used that solid Suffolk Law education in a lifelong career protecting children. “I am grateful for the time I spent there and to Suffolk Law’s educators, who allowed me to take what I learned into practice and public service, which I’ve been devoted to.”
Early in her career, Imbesi joined Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office as a sex crimes prosecutor. The work led her in 2004 to the then newly formed Montgomery Child Advocacy Project (MCAP), where she has worked to prevent child abuse and neglect in Montgomery County “through legal services, advocacy, and education.” She currently serves as the president of MCAP’s board of directors.
The value of her Suffolk education inspired her to create the Kate Daniels Imbesi Scholarship to support a student demonstrating financial need from the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York area, where she and Tony, her husband, are from.
“I’m looking forward to helping expand geographic diversity for Suffolk Law,” she says. “And provide others with the law education that I was so blessed to have earned there.”
