Summary

I’m a hardworking and motivated student at the University of Mississippi, currently pursuing a double major in Legal Studies and Criminal Justice, with a minor in History and Corrections on the Pre-Law track. I’m passionate about law, public service, and understanding how the justice system works from multiple angles.

I’m known for being reliable and efficient—I manage my time well, stay organized, and always follow through on what I start. I enjoy problem-solving, thinking critically, and working with others to get things done. Whether it’s a group project or an individual assignment, I bring strong communication skills, adaptability, and a collaborative mindset. I’m excited to keep learning and growing through hands-on experience in legal or criminal justice settings.
