My intended career path is still developing as I continue to gain experience in the criminal justice field. I am actively applying for remote legal transcription positions as a starting point and exploring several long‑term career options, including forensic science technology, court operations, forensic social work, court reporting, substance abuse counseling, sociology, intelligence analysis, digital forensics, and computer forensics investigation.

After completing my B.S. in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Crime and Criminal Investigation at Walden University, I plan to continue my education by pursuing the Master of Science in Crime Analysis online through Arizona State University. This program aligns with my academic strengths in research, data analysis, criminology, and investigative concepts, and will allow me to build advanced skills in crime mapping, intelligence analysis, and evidence‑based decision‑making.

Because I am still exploring my long‑term career direction within the criminal justice and forensic fields, graduate study in crime analysis will support multiple potential paths, including intelligence analysis, digital forensics, forensic investigation, court operations, and sociological or behavioral‑science–based roles. My goal is to deepen my analytical expertise and expand my professional opportunities while continuing to develop a clear, informed career trajectory.

Reading, writing, coloring, dancing, makeup, and fashion. Music (especially rap and hip‑hop) is a big part of my daily routine. I also enjoy traveling and decorating spaces with an eye for interior design. I’m deeply interested in criminology, psychology, forensic science, and the human brain.
