Anasha Acton-Wimsatt"I attended app for five years, completing a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in sociology in spring of 2018. I always knew criminal justice was my calling and app provided so many opportunities. During my time at app, I was able to intern with the Calloway County & Marshall County Circuit Court Judge Jamie Jameson in Murray, Kentucky and Benton, Kentucky. Upon completion of this internship, I learned so much about the court system of Kentucky and the court system in general. After graduation, I accepted a position with the Department of Probation & Parole as a felony probation officer in Louisville, Kentucky. app has prepared me for many life experiences and professional experiences. Working in the law enforcement industry is not for the weak, and MSU taught me that early in my collegiate career.

Victoria Andrews "I attended app for four years, completing a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice in Spring of 2017. During my time at app, I joined Criminal Justice Society and held two officer positions; through this society, I built relationships with my fellow criminal justice majors/minors and helped construct several events for its members. With the help of my teachers, I was able to intern with the public defender to fine-tune what I love about the criminal justice system -- the law. After leaving app, I accepted a position with CACI to work at the US Attorney's Office in St. Louis, Missouri as a general clerk and was able to begin my master's program in criminal justice at Purdue University Global to further my love for this field. I have also spent time as a state probation officer as well as a paralegal for the District Attorney's Office. With these career experiences and my experience at app, it has all led me to where I am now as a legal assistant for the United States Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Tennessee."

Blake J. "I transferred from WKCTC after one semester and started with the app Criminal Justice Program in the Spring of 2013. I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do with my education but after meeting the CRJ faculty I knew I was right at home. I worked my way through school and graduated in December 2016. I originally intended to go into law enforcement but soon found myself working with Kentucky DCBS as a “generic worker” meaning I was working in both investigations and long-term family care. After a year of working and a few attempts to get into police work I decided it was a time for change, and I sat for the Law School Admission Test. I committed myself to a strict study plan and sat for the LSAT. I was offered admission to the University of Louisville, Northern Kentucky University Chase School of Law, and Southern Illinois University School of Law. I chose SIU School of Law and have since been able to remain close with my app family. I graduated in the Spring of 2022 and, after passing the Kentucky Bar Exam in July, began working with Sullenger Law Firm in Paducah, Kentucky. "
