Turning the Corner

In 2016, Ms. Doolittle began serving as the outside Title IX investigator for a Florida university. Since then, she has come to appreciate the unique skill set required to conduct these investigations and has discovered a real love for the work. The opportunity to help employers and schools address these important and sensitive problems in a timely fashion has proven rewarding and impactful.
