Summary
I am a proud UTRGV alumni, holding a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology. My academic journey has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system and societal dynamics, fueling my passion for law and my commitment to advocating for justice and equity. While my long-term career goal is to attend law school and continue to develop professionally within the legal field, I am currently seeking opportunities in education. I bring a strong foundation in educational principles, effective communication, and student engagement techniques, along with a genuine passion for teaching. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic learning environment and continue to grow both personally and professionally.
