About
I am currently an Criminal Justice student at Lamar University in Beaumont Texas. I am currently studying criminal justice in hopes of becoming a lawyer in New York City, where I am originally from. I plan to attend law school following my four years at Lamar University, however I am still undecided with which school I will attend. I have always had a passion for law, in high school I was apart of the Street Law organization at my school which allowed me to learn as well as play a lawyer in multiple mock trials.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently studying criminal justice which I plan on using my degree from that to enter law school and eventually become a lawyer in New York City. Although I intend on becoming a lawyer I have not fully chosen between criminal and corporate law. After approximately twelve to fifteen years as a lawyer I plan to become a judge, and eventually step down and retire.
- Graduate school interests
After I complete my bachelors of science in the Criminal Justice department I plan on enrolling into law school the following fall.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy playing sports, such as basketball which I was apart of throughout my junior high and high school career along with track. I also enjoy playing the saxophone which I was a member of the bank from middle school until my freshman year of high school. One of my favorite hobbies is writing and debating which I do majority of my free time.
