Where’d you come from and what’d you do there? I just graduated from CNU (Christopher Newport University) where I studied Sociology & Criminology. This is my first “big girl” job!

How did you become interested in working at the LGBT Life Center? I heard about it through Julie (Snell) because she was a professor for my “Gender, Sexuality & Crime” class at CNU.
