Soumita Bose
Soumita Bose is a rising 3L at the University of Washington School of Law. With a background in public health and policy, she completed her master’s in public health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and was a researcher at the Urban Institute prior to law school. Soumita is returning to KR after another year of law school. Over the past year, she has externed with the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in the Asylum Unit, worked on the Washington Law Review, and taught workshops on doctrinal classes for 1L students.
Soumita is drawn to understanding how complex and impact litigation can be used to ensure health equity and social justice. Soumita was initially drawn to KR’s plaintiff-side public health and environmental litigation. Notably, while researching KR, she discovered that one of her first civil procedure readings was a case where KR was involved in suing social media companies for their role in the youth mental health crisis. This connection resonated deeply with her public health interests.
Outside of her legal studies, Soumita enjoys reading, dancing, and learning her family recipes.
Sage Fox
Sage Fox is a rising 2L at the University of Washington School of Law. Originally from Oregon, Sage’s passion for the environment began in the rivers and forests of the Pacific Northwest. He earned his undergraduate degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Science from Oregon State University and later completed a master’s degree in Hydrology and Hydrodynamics at the University of Washington, focusing on biogeochemistry and the interconnectedness of land and sea ecosystems.
Sage’s journey to law was driven by a desire to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and advocacy. After conducting extensive fieldwork across the Western U.S., Alaska, and Chilean Patagonia (the latter as a Fulbright recipient), he realized that science alone could not protect the communities and ecosystems he cares about. Sage is deeply committed to holding large corporate and governmental entities accountable for environmental harms, from climate change and habitat fragmentation to contamination from PFAS and PCBs. He values the multidisciplinary approach of Keller Rohrback and is eager to amplify the voices of those most affected by corporate misconduct.
Outside of his legal and scientific pursuits, Sage is an "object in motion" who enjoys a wide range of outdoor activities, including climbing volcanoes, scuba diving, and spearfishing. He is also a former competitive Nordic skier, triathlete, and ultra-runner. When he isn’t outdoors, Sage enjoys cooking meals with local ingredients, gardening, and maintaining his home aquarium.

Known for her creativity and ability to find solutions others might overlook, Natalie takes pride in approaching challenges from new angles. She is also proud of her work as an Associate Editor of the Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law & Justice, where she contributes to scholarship and dialogue that uplift communities.
