About

Organized, highly motivated, and compassionate graduate with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate concisely. A good problem solver who enjoys helping people as much as possible, with 10 years of customer service experience. Am able to lead others in demanding circumstances and remain calm in stressful situations.

I recently graduated from Wayne State University, earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. When I first started this journey, I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with my degree. I know now that I would like to continue my education and work in the field of Criminal Justice. I studied Psychology because I really enjoy understanding human behavior, specifically how society is perceived from someone who demonstrates abnormal behavior or criminal behavior and vise versa. I would like to pursue a career that allows me to identify and protect others from this type of behavior

Goals and interests

Career goal

I would like to start by gaining experience in the field, perhaps starting my career with a local Police Department or Security Company where I can continue to grow and develop. One day, I would like my career to take me to the federal level with a career in Criminal Intelligence. Ultimately, this is where I'd like to see my career end up, however I am not limited and am open to any other opportunity that allows me to succeed and make a difference.

Graduate school interests

I will continue my education this Fall of 2015 working towards a Masters in Criminal Justice.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy being active, especially outdoors. Activities such as, kayaking, swimming, running/walking, and playing tennis. I recently took up Yoga, which I find to be extremely motivating and relaxing.
