Courtney Sullivan '20

Courtney, a 2020 honors graduate of Trinity Christian College, continues to make the Trinity community proud. She earned her B.A. in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology and Pre-Law while excelling both academically and athletically. During her time at Trinity, Courtney was recognized with the 2020 Criminal Justice Student of the Year Award and the Brad Breems Restorative Justice Award. She was also a dedicated four-year member of the women’s volleyball team, showcasing her leadership and teamwork.

Currently in her final year of law school at Western State College of Law, Courtney is set to graduate in May 2025. Throughout her legal studies, she has been active in Mock Trial and Negotiations teams, sharpening her advocacy skills. Her externship with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office has provided hands-on experience, including conducting preliminary hearings, arguing motions, and even second-chairing a jury trial. Her efforts have been recognized in advocacy competitions, where she advanced to the quarter-finals twice.

Excitingly, Courtney has recently accepted a conditional offer for a Deputy District Attorney position with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office, where she will begin her career as a prosecutor after graduation.

Outside of her professional accomplishments, Courtney celebrated a personal milestone on September 30, 2023, when she became engaged to her fiancé, David Huxley. The two are joyfully planning their wedding and looking forward to their future together. One of their recent adventures included hiking Half Dome in Yosemite—a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience shared with a close friend.
