My studies brought together research, classroom learning, and 60 days of training across public service agencies.

I led our undergraduate research group on awareness of the Safe Spaces Act. During field training, I observed agency operations, joined preparedness activities, and kept reports and daily logs.

I want to continue developing these skills and contribute to public safety and the criminal justice system with integrity and accountability.

Areas I’d like to explore further

Criminal investigation, forensic science, cybercrime, law enforcement, public safety, crime analysis, and rehabilitation.
