I am a Criminal Justice student at New Jersey City University in Jersey City, New Jersey. I got my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Berkeley College at the New Jersey campus and soon decided to sent my application to NJCU for a Master's degree in Criminal Justice. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic until the age of nine with my two brothers and my mom while my dad resided in the U.S working to provide my brothers and I with the resources to succeed in life. I am known for being persistent, dedicated, and ambitious. Since I was very little, I have had an immense sense of justice and the passion to work in the criminal justice system to not only set an example for many young girls but also to create my path and protect the community as an honorable civilian. I chose Berkeley College and New Jersey City University for my Bachelor and Master degree because of the excellent criminal justice programs with experts on the field who shared their experience as former law enforcement officials. The quality of online courses was very convenient and flexible giving me the opportunity to work at my own pace and deliver quality work.
