Summary
I am a soon-to-be Chemistry and Criminal Justice graduate (2024) with a passion for expanding my knowledge. I am a very respected and hard-working person among my peers. Goal-oriented individual with strong leadership qualities. I am structured, highly motivated, and self-determined. Throughout my college career, I was not able to join clubs or organizations like I would have liked to. This is because I was also a full-time employee, but no matter what, my education always came first.
