About

I was adopted as an infant, growing up as an only child and only grandchild has taught me many skills. Patience, kindness, forgiveness and the title of “queen of any technology”, as my 69 year old parents and 87 year old grandparents are not the most tech savy. In the past few years I have learned that I am 49% south Korean, with a mixture of german. I would like the opportunity to work with minorities or other adopted children as a way to give back, and remain thankful for the life I was blessed with. I’ve always wanted to go into the criminal justice field even as a young child, NCIS and SVU were my favorite tv shows as a child. Unfortunately our justice system has been infiltrated by those that do not have the nation/state’s best interest in mind, (especially coming from a resident of Illinois), so my goal is to restore the morals and integrity of our justice system. Thank you for taking time to read this, and for this great opportunity!
