Jennifer Maloney Dublin, Spring 2011

Originally from Schuylkill Haven, PA, Jennifer is a junior at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, PA. A Crime, Law, and Justice major in the states, she will be studying in the Law and Sociology departments at Trinity College Dublin. Both Schuylkill Haven and University Park are small towns so she is looking forward to studying in the capital city of Ireland. Jennifer looks forward to learning the differences in the criminal justice system between the U.S. and Ireland. Even though she is studying abroad to further her academic career, Jennifer is excited to explore the beauty of the green countryside.
