How did you get in this line of work? What keeps you in it?

I got into this line of work after meeting a man who had been wrongfully convicted—an experience that deeply impacted me and sparked my passion for applying research to real-world legal issues. It opened my eyes to how social science can play a powerful role in promoting fairness and understanding within the justice system. What keeps me in this work is the opportunity to make that impact every day, while constantly learning and adapting in a field that’s as challenging as it is rewarding.
