As a teacher with 10 years experience in various elementary schools in Washington, D.C., Denver, Los Angeles County, and abroad in Japan and Kuwait, Stacie noticed a pattern over the years that many young students experienced trauma.  In fact, some school environments retraumatized students and the level of trauma was intensified.  As a result, the trauma spread to her. In her pursuit to make the education system better and to bridge education and the law for education justice, she proceeded to attend law school.
