There, she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Sullivan practiced criminal justice for several years and then returned to teach at Johnston Community College.
Sullivan was nominated for the school’s highest faculty honor by colleagues who said,“[she] shows a passion for students’ success that I have not seen in many others. She truly wants to provide the best opportunities for students to learn and achieve their goals. She demonstrates this through her out-of-the-box thinking to engage all students’ learning types. While her expectations are written out on paper, she demonstrates what she expects from her students as she leads them.”
