In Memoriam

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Alexandra "Sasha" Podkolzina Huntington, a beloved alumna of Santa Clara University School of Law, Class of 2013. Sasha, who focused on health law, went on to serve in the San Jose office of Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (JD '75), where she advocated tirelessly on behalf of constituents, securing life-changing outcomes for many. Congresswoman Lofgren remembered Sasha as "a brilliant young lawyer" who worked diligently and compassionately, leaving a lasting impact on those she served. Born in Russia in 1985, Sasha was a gifted tennis player who trained internationally, competed professionally, and attended UC Berkeley. Even after cancer altered her path, she lived with unwavering resilience, warmth, and humor. She loved literature, art, travel, dogs, The New Yorker, and her husband, Kyle Huntington. Sasha approached life with grace and laughter, finding joy even in hardship.
