ASL Profile: Peggy Street

Peggy Street was born and raised in Buchanan County, Virginia. She graduated from Council High School in 1996. Peggy has been married for 16 years, and has worked since she was 16 years old. She has three children, one of whom is a United States Marine, private first class.  Her daughter is 12, and her youngest son is 4. She resides on Garden Creek. In her spare time she enjoys crocheting and spending time with family and friends.  Peggy is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and then plans to get a Masters in legal studies

“Peggy is an extremely important component of the Natural Resources Law Center,” said Dan Caldwell, Counsel to the ASL Natural Resource Program.  “She has a very positive attitude, great work ethic, and a can-do mentality, the trifecta of team work.  She is great to work with and has a wonderful sense of humor.  She is an outstanding member of the law school community and we are all better for knowing her.  The Energy Law Symposium would not have been the success it was, without her.  Bottom line, she makes ASL a better place.  We are truly fortunate to have such a great colleague.”

ASL Professor and Director of the Natural Resources Center, Patrick Baker added, “She is also a great cook, a wonderful mother and a canner (she even cans deer meat).  She is a fierce competitor, refusing to let a simple face plant and bloody mouth keep her from finishing a tennis tournament. Peggy's attitude is why wait ‘til tomorrow if we can get the job done today. She is an asset to ASL and we are fortunate to have her.”
