Holly Thompson was a Douglass Fellow during the 2017-2018 academic year. She then graduated from Vanderbilt University Law School in May of 2019. She currently works as a staff attorney and a George Barrett Fellow at Legal Aid of North Carolina's Farmworker Unit. Her fellowship project focuses on providing immigration relief for migrant farmworkers victimized by human trafficking and on developing creative litigation strategies in forced labor cases. She is excited to use the knowledge she gained as a Douglass Fellow in this project.

Throughout law school, Holly enjoyed internships with Southern Migrant Legal Services, the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, and International Justice Mission in Bolivia. She also was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society and Law Students for Social Justice. Holly remains committed to seeking justice for marginalized and isolated victims of human trafficking or other types of exploitation.
