About
I am a junior Sociology and Criminal Justice major at Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, KS. I am a student-athlete and plan to pursue a career in athletics, the athletics industry and/or criminal justice. I love a team atmosphere and caring for people. I am an advocate for being a voice and standing up for those that aren't able or comfortable doing it for themselves.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I love a team atmosphere, competing and pushing myself at whatever I do. I intend to pursue athletics as far as opportunities with allow me. From there, and with my interests in people, protection and advocating for others, I would like to pursue opportunities in public safety and protection.
I would be equally interested in pursuing an opportunity in the athletics industry.
- Graduate school interests
I am in the process of determining if KWU has a grad school option that supports my interests. It is a smaller university with limited grad school programs, so it a grad program doesn't make sense, I will fulfill my second major in criminal justice.
