"As a Chowan alumna I feel so blessed to be able to teach at a place that I truly love. After working for criminal defense attorneys for years I decided it was time to go back to school and further my education and fulfill my lifelong dream of teaching. My experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system is a way to teach students that they are the future and they are the only ones that can fix our currently flawed legal system. With small class sizes I have the opportunity to get to know each student and I become vested in their success and their future."
