My name is Sandra Smith-Williams, and I teach Criminal Justice I and II while serving as the Work-Based Learning Coordinator for Criminal Justice, Law, and Teaching as a Profession students at West Creek High School. With over 25 years of experience in social work, criminal justice, and education, I connect classroom learning to real-world application, preparing students for meaningful careers in public service. My background includes roles as a Youth Service Officer, Child Protective Investigator, and Life Coach. These experiences shape my passion for career readiness, mentorship, and creating a classroom where every student feels valued and inspired to succeed.
