Tahria Rollins is assigned to the Education Department with Oakland City University. Her supervisor has been out of the facility due to a recent accident, preventing his return to work. Ms. Rollins stepped forward to fill the void and has performed exemplary with her leadership at the Indiana State Prison’s Education Department. She has taken over the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) and the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) programs for offenders seeking to improve their education. This responsibility requires extensive paperwork, frequent traveling to administer the tests while ensuring all federal guidelines are followed in the administration, evaluation and submission of materials and maintaining the integrity of the test. Ms. Rollins is an ultimate team player and ensures every task is met and performed to the proper standard and does so in a self directed manner.
