Mikayla Postma

I graduated from the University of Denver in 2022 with a Bachelors of Arts in Criminology Socio-Legal with Concentrations in History Leadership. I did an internship through the Social Movement Support Lab doing police budget research. Additionally, I just finished my job as a death penalty researcher with Dr. Scott Phillips to supplement his statistics book with cases. In this position, I wrote briefs of cases and conducted research into wrongful practices leading to death sentences. I also developed a wrongful conviction rights education curriculum as a Community Change Initiative through DUs Pioneer Leadership Program utilized to educate teenagers in the Denver-Metro area about their rights. I am versed in social science research through my degree and have good writing skills.
