My features article presents an overview of the research conduct by Dr. Jay Miller, Associate Dean at the University of Kentucky. He conducted several studies focused on the needs of Youth in Care from their Attorneys. The article gives a voice to the youth and highlights what they need from their attorneys in order to have a successful relationship as they navigate the foster care system. It provides policy recommendations for revisions to CAPTA and recommendations for trainings that should be required for attorneys that represent youth in care.

My goal is to work in family law helping families access the resources that best fit their needs.

A fun fact about me is that my family jokes that I think I am a bionic lady because I have a titanium rod in my left leg.
