Ameerah Thomas聽looks to impact criminal justice reform, using her skills to affect policy change for those most vulnerable. She converted an internship through the Pathways Program into a full-time position at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in the Office of the Inspector General, reviewing allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct among federal law enforcement agencies. 鈥淒OJ is one of my dream [employers],鈥� she says. 鈥淭he work with oversight in the justice programs gives me a glimpse into the system, including corrections, and reinforces all the things I was able to learn in the classroom.鈥� Thomas also credits AU鈥檚 vast alumni network for providing her with contacts in her field and exposure to current efforts.
