A 35-year professional career marked by hard work, passion and determination is a testament to her goal.

During her time with the EPA, Muldrow also worked as an instructor in the Trial Advocacy Institution and a facilitator in the Negotiation Course.
Muldrow’s entrance into the field of law can be accredited to her education. Marked as intellectual child at a very young age, Muldrow was continuously encouraged to pursue a college degree. As a teenager, she began learning of the many African-Americans who made significant contribution to our society. This encouraged her to explore the contributions she could make. Initially advised to become an educator, Muldrow felt she could be most effective by entering into law.
After receiving her B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College and J.D. from Ohio State University College of Law, Muldrow began her career in a State Attorney General Office in 1974. She later went on to work as Associate Counsel at the Temple University Legal Aid Office where she supervised law students in a variety of civil matters. Three years later, Muldrow moved to the Philadelphia District Attorneys Office. As an Assistant District Attorney, she prosecuted a wide range of major felony cases, including child abuse crimes. After a successful decade in the District Attorneys Office, Muldrow decided to refocus her work and entered into environmental law.
In addition to Muldrow’s professional achievements, this mother of one has
remained active in civic and professional organizations in her community. This includes work with the NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus, Philadelphia Barristers, the National Bar Association Woman Lawyers Division and the Federal Bar Association.
