About
I am very family and pet oriented person, I only really spend time with them. And since my family told me to make school "number 1," I've studied hard and earned good grades to make them proud and open more doors for myself. Other than that, I've done some volunteering and I play the bass and tinker around with the guitar and piano occasionally. Reading and doing outdoorsy activities (ex= fishing, camping, hiking, etc.) is also relaxing. I've had about a million great, adorable, amazing pets. And I have three siblings (one is my twin). Fun fact: I'm also part of NSHSS, HSF, & CSF.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want to be a law enforcement officer, either a Deputy Sheriff or above. I also want to work in PSY OPS in the Army Reserve. Since I already enlisted, I "just" need to pass my training (BCT & AIT will both be difficult) in order to secure my enlistment MOS. Hopefully I can work in both law enforcement and the military so that I can help people and serve my country :).
- Graduate school interests
I'm interested in earning a master's degree at CSULB through their Beach Edge program.
- Outside the classroom
Spending time with family/pets, gardening, playing my instruments, fishing, camping, painting, reading, and hiking.
