Please join us in welcoming our summer intern, Shadel Brewster, to the SJH team!

Shadel joins us through the Upper Darby PLOT (Participant Leadership & Occupational Training) Program, where she spent the past two years interning with Upper Darby Township — first as a Municipal Clerk intern, then in Human Resources and Risk Management.

Shadel is a recent graduate of Cardinal O'Hara High School and is headed to Temple University this fall.

At SJH, she'll get hands-on exposure across the firm while continuing to build on the administrative and analytical skills she's developed so far.

Outside of work, Shadel is a talented multi-instrumentalist (piano, saxophone, drums, and steel drums!) and has been crocheting for over three years. She's also been an active community leader, from the Youth Legislative Council to serving as President of the Big Buddy/Community Service Corps.

We're excited to have her with us this summer — welcome, Shadel!
