Tiffanie Tagaloa joined the Children’s Law Center as an attorney in December 2025. Her work is grounded in public-interest advocacy, focusing on the protection of the rights of children, youth, and underserved communities.

 Tiffanie earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law, where she served as a staff editor on the Kentucky Law Journal. During law school, she interned and externed with the Fayette County offices of the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy and held a limited practice license that allowed her to represent indigent clients under supervision. She also interned with the ACLU of Kentucky, where her work centered on legal advocacy for underrepresented youth, including issues related to gender-affirming medical care and access to health services, and researched the application of the death penalty in Kentucky and its disproportionate impact on communities of color.

 While in law school, Tiffanie worked with Street Law to educate high school students on their constitutional rights and launched a relief effort during the 2022 Eastern Kentucky floods to assist impacted families with accessing FEMA aid. Before joining the Children’s Law Center, she practiced in both criminal defense and civil litigation in Kentucky. Outside of work, Tiffanie enjoys hiking, rafting, and spending time outdoors, usually accompanied by her husky, who has the confidence and attitude of a spoiled teenager.
