In 2008, she was selected by the MacArthur Foundation to participate in the Models for Change Juvenile Indigent Defense Action Network. Prior to joining the Rutgers faculty in 2006, she spent 15 years working at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, where she was the assistant chief of the juvenile unit. Professor Simkins is also the codirector of the Northeast Region Juvenile Defender Center, a subsidiary of the National Juvenile Defender Center, where she provides consultation and training to child advocates in Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. She has championed the creation of effective statewide coalitions and led fundraising initiatives for program development. Her various fundraising efforts have created a specialized mental health and special education attorney, and a statewide training program for juvenile defenders in the state of Pennsylvania. In 2002, she was the recipient of the American Bar Association's Award for "Outstanding Representation of Children." Professor Simkins is a national trainer on the issue of girls in the juvenile justice system and is involved in conditions of confinement reform.
