Gariann Yochym works for the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition, providing harm reduction services throughout Haywood County and case management services for the Waynesville LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) Program. Prior to her current work, she taught high school English for 8 years. During her tenure, she was involved in a number of social justice campaigns and, ultimately, decided to pursue a Masters in Social Work to further her efforts to effect change, with specific interest in drug policy and criminal justice reform.
