About
I am currently an undergraduate student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice majoring in Law and Society, History minor, and getting a certificate in Dispute Resolution. After obtaining my Bachelor Degree, I plan on participating in programs or fellowships, such as Samuel Huntington Public Service, Boren Fellowship, and Teach for America, to gain life experience as well helping Global Citizen around the world. After years of commitment of service, I plan to attend law school to study immigration or criminal law. I really enjoy helping people that’s why I will like to devote time to effectively people after graduation and the attend law school to continue the same career.
