Meet Our Guest
Noella Sudbury, a lawyer by trade, began her career as a public defender about 15 years ago. Her experience revealed the flaws in a broken justice system that often overlooked the root causes leading individuals to jail. She witnessed clients striving to improve their lives, only to be hindered by minor records that prevented them from renting homes or participating in their children's schools. Determined to make a difference, Noella has been driving change in Utah and Arizona.
