Professor Ibrahim-Taney is a servant leader. Born with a thirst for knowledge and a drive for excellence, Professor Ibrahim-Taney embarked on a remarkable educational journey that spanned across multiple prestigious institutions (including UC) and continents. It all began at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, where she laid the foundation for her academic pursuits by earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Administration of Justice and Sociology.
