Camilla Cochrane

Camilla Cochrane is a member of St. Stephen’s Church, and as Senior Warden, serves on St. Stephen's Board of Trustees.  She and her husband, Bob Strauss, have lived in Miami since 1988.  Camilla is a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law.  She was in private practice, specializing in labor and employment issues; and has taught law and business courses as an adjunct faculty member at FIU and St. Thomas University.

Prior to becoming an attorney, Camilla spent fifteen years in public education.  She holds a Master of Education Degree in Educational Psychology from Temple University, and also completed advanced course work in this area.   Camilla worked for school districts in Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as an elementary school classroom teacher and later as a special education teacher of severely-to-moderately mentally handicapped children.  She left the classroom to join a federally-funded consulting center in Pennsylvania that provided resources and technical assistance support to the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the development of programs for special needs children.  After four years in this position, Camilla became the director of a similar center in Florida, working with state education agencies in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.  Although she eventually left this profession to become an attorney, her interest in and commitment to providing quality education for all children continued.  While in law school, Camilla wrote a law review comment that addressed issues concerning educational rights and educational needs of the homeless school-age child.
