Savannah Hostetter Benac went to Baylor University School of Law thinking she would become a prosecutor or do legal work to combat human trafficking.
During an internship, she took a human trafficking law class at the University of Houston, wrote her law review note on a human trafficking case and interned at the McLennan County district attorney’s office, where she worked on a human trafficking prosecution.
But after graduating, Hostetter Benac’s career took a different path. She entered commercial litigation, first at Norton Rose Fulbright and now at Shackelford, McKinley & Norton, where she became a partner this year.
About two years ago, Hostetter Benac joined the board of Radiate Coalition, a nonprofit whose mission aligned closely with the justice-focused work she had once envisioned for her legal career. The organization provides Christian-based aftercare to teen survivors of sexual abuse, trafficking and oppression in Honduras.
Now, she is helping guide the organization as it expands its mission work into the U.S.
