Married to North Carolina Governor Mike Easley, she has established three main initiatives as First Lady: teacher recruitment, reduction of underage drinking, and infant immunization, especially for the newest North Carolinians with English as their second language.
Easley serves as the spokesperson for the McDonald's "Immunize for Healthy Lives" campaign and she speaks to many groups about the importance of immunizing North Carolina's children in a timely manner. She also is an active participant in The First Ladies' Initiative to Keep Children Alcohol Free, speaking out statewide on the dangers of early alcohol use by children.
After law school, Easley served approximately 10 years as assistant district attorney in New Hanover and Pender counties. From 1984 to 1992, she maintained her own practice in the areas of civil and criminal law in Southport in Brunswick County.
At North Carolina Central School of Law, Easley is a full-time clinical professor, teaching appellate advocacy, trial advocacy and criminal trial practice.
