My name is Aubrie Meade and I am currently a sophomore majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Psychology.  I have always had a passion for criminal justice reform, reducing recidivism as well as better preparing individuals to be productive members of society after incarceration.  I am taking this course to broaden my understanding of the human mind, how thoughts and behaviors are influenced and why people do the things they do. I am the mother of two amazing boys, (one of which is a freshman here this year!) full time student and recent breast cancer survivor which combined gives me the drive and motivation to reach for the stars and make my dreams a reality!
