Graduating Year: 2020

Education: Psychological Science Major, Criminalistics and Human Services & Addictions minors

Career Plans: After I receive my B.A., I intend to pursue a master鈥檚 degree related to mental health counseling and become a mental health therapist. I have yet to decide whether or not I also want to pursue an education in something related to criminal justice (forensic psychology, criminalistics, crime researcher, a position within the FBI or CIA鈥 all and more on the table).  

Favorite Class: My favorite class that I have taken in criminalistics has definitely got to be JUS 231: Race, Gender, and Crime with Alex Brennen. It really makes you think.  

Accomplishment: One academic accomplishment I have had is still in progress and that is being able to partake in undergraduate research.  

Hobbies: Some hobbies I have include: listening to music and podcasts, crocheting, reading, painting with acrylics, and really anything else that allows me to be creative.

Words of encouragement: I am 2 years into this minor and I have yet to have a professor that 1) hasn鈥檛 done a phenomenal job with teaching their subject; and 2) hasn鈥檛 understood how difficult it is to be a student trying to get an education and learning how to be their very own 鈥済rown-up鈥 at the same time. Try not to be too afraid to ask questions or communicate with your professors when life comes up.
