Deirdre’s studies had her shuttling between D.C.and NYC (Georgetown University B.S. and Fordham University Ph.D.). She currently makes her home in Arlington, Virginia with her husband and two teenagers. After working in a number of state psychiatric hospitals, Deirdre made her way to the Georgetown University Counseling Center where she helped launch the first counseling clinic at the Georgetown University Law Center. She and her family attend Falls Church Anglican, and have been particularly active in the Fellows program. Since its inception, (with a couple year break) Deirdre has helped chair the committee that hosts the annual International Justice Mission’s Washington, DC fundraising benefit. She is also an active volunteer in her childrens’ schools.
