About

I am currently a student at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. I am majoring in Forensic Science and minoring in Psychology, Spanish, and Chemistry. I grew up in the Chandler, Arizona with my 4 sisters, my mother, and step father. I have grown up to be a very independent, focused and hardworking young woman. Being the middle child of 5 girls, I have had the experience of feeling as if I've had to take on a lot of responsibility. I've looked up to my mother who struggled of being a single mother of 3 daughters, until meeting my step-father . She's made me want to strive for the best and make her proud. In high school, I enrolled in duel, AP, and classes at our local community college. (Chandler- Gilbert Community College). At the end of my senior year, I graduated with 38 college credits. I have always enjoyed putting together puzzles, figuring out word searches and doing mysteries. My favorite TV show is Criminal Minds, even though it is over dramatized. Forensic Science will help me to solve who caused the crime by sampling hair, blood, and finger print fragments. I hope to become as successful as I can, while being an essential help to the FBI.
