About
I am an accomplished student and professional currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a focus in Law at Walden University, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA, hold Honor Roll standing, and have been invited to join the Society for Collegiate Leadership and Achievement (SCLA). My current studies build upon a strong educational foundation from Strayer University, where I earned an Associate degree in Business Administration and Management. During my time at Strayer, I consistently earned placement on the President’s List, Dean’s List, and Honors List, collected multiple skill achievement badges, and served as a dedicated Peer Mentor to support fellow students throughout my entire program.
Professionally, I serve as a Manager at Absolute Customs Inc., where I apply business administration principles to oversee daily operations, streamline administrative workflows, direct team coordination, and manage client relations. My career and academic trajectory demonstrate a proven ability to balance rigorous full-time professional leadership with top-tier academic performance. Combining practical corporate management expertise with advanced training in legal procedure and criminal justice, I bring a disciplined, analytical, and leadership-driven approach to every organizational and academic initiative.

- Outside the classroom
Outside of work and school, I love staying creative and keeping my hands busy. When I have downtime, you’ll usually find me working on detailed drawings like Zentangles, making Kumihimo braids, or taking on DIY clothing projects. I’m also a big animal lover, so caring for my pets is a huge part of my daily life. To unwind, I enjoy diving into open-world video games or just spending a quiet afternoon out by the water. Having these creative outlets gives me a great way to reset, decompress, and keep a healthy balance alongside my studies.
