About

I am a Sophomore at Lindenwood University located in St. Charles, MO. I have enough credit hours to technically be a Junior and hope to graduate in Dec 2023. For my career goals I am pursing a Criminal Justice Degree and want to work and make a difference in that field. I have obtained Dean's List each semester while at Lindenwood and currently have a 3.9 GPA. I am on scholarship for academics and the Lindenwood Shooting Team where I shoot all 3 events: Trap, Skeet, and Sporting via shotgun. I intend to use all my experience, training and leadership to prepare me for a role in Law Enforcement.
