Kelley's Story

Life Our 20th reunion is right around the corner! Any Wootton High School Class of '85 classmate interested in getting more information, please feel free to email me here at classmates and we'll get the official invite sent out to you! As for what I've been up to since 1985: After WHS, I went to University of Delaware for a BS in Criminal Justice, then stayed in Wilmington for a few years as a social worker working with abused and neglected children, ages birth to 13. I loved it, but decided to move on with my education and I came back to DC to start law school at American University in 1994. Throughout law school, I worked full-time as a paralegal researching and writing briefs for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, and assisting in the prosecution of pedophiles and child pornographers. It was a great time to be there, with the proliferation of the spread of child pornography on the Internet in the early '90s, and being involved in many combined sting operations between the FBI, Postal, and Customs. I finished law school and got married in 1998 three months before studying for the Bar exam, which I passed in 1999. In 2001, after the new adminstration and DOJ decided to concentrate more of our limited resources on prosecuting adult pornography and therefore less on prosecuting child pornography, I decided to find a new job. I am now an...Expand for more
attorney in the Office of General Counsel of a small agency in the Judicial Branch. I supervise our law student interns, do some employee-related HR work, and some policy work (which sounds sooo boring, I admit, but surprisingly, I like it). While in law school, I spent a summer taking International Law classes in Bangkok, Thailand, my favorite place on this earth, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. For all of you who wouldn't remember, I lived in Bangkok during my 1st and 2nd grade years and my younger sister Kasey (Class of '92) is Thai. My family's been back many times since we lived there in the 70's. I was most recently there in 2003 and the tsunami that hit Phuket and Khao Lak broke my heart. I have no children yet but look forward to all the ups and downs of being a parent. I compensate with my 3 cats and 2 dogs and 5 nieces and nephews. One of my newest hobbies is attempting to play pool, and I play in a league with my boyfriend every week. I'm the lowest ranked member of our team but it's still fun because to me, pool is a great excuse for drinking lots of beer. I've also taken on the task of trying to find as many "lost" classmates as possible for the 20th reunion, so if you're reading this and haven't yet gotten an email to join our listserv and get information about the reunion, please email me here at classmates!
