Caroline C. Sczweck, Esq.
Attorney
Caroline, a Pittsburgh native, attended Vanderbilt University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Medicine, Health, and Society and a Bachelor of Arts in History. After graduation, she was awarded the Keegan Traveling Fellowship where she had the opportunity to travel solo to twenty-three countries in six continents to study end of life care around the world through her self-designed study “Dignified Life and Death: a Global Perspective on End-of-Life Care and Decision-Making.” This experience provided a deeper understanding of how different cultures care for those at the end of life through the development of public policy, legal systems, hospitals, hospices, and religious practices.
Upon returning to the United States in 2016, she began a Master’s Degree in Bioethics from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota which she completed in 2018 while working as a Campus Minister in Pittsburgh. She then transitioned to the legal field and gained experience as a case specialist, paralegal, and managing paralegal.
Caroline’s passion for end-of-life care led her to begin law school at the Thomas R. Kline Duquesne School of Law where she graduated in 2025. While at Duquesne Kline, she found her niche in estates & trusts through the Wills and Health Care clinic leading her to her position at
Abernethy, Hagerman, & Miller.
Outside of work, Caroline serves on the Board of Directors for Move a Mountain Missions, which serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the homeless in Pittsburgh. She also serves as the social media coordinator for the Vanderbilt Alumni Pittsburgh Chapter.
Caroline lives with her husband and three kids (soon to be four) in Etna, Pennsylvania.
