Destiny Washington

Bronx,NY

Summary

I am currently a sophomore at Pace University, enrolled in the esteemed Dyson School, pursuing a major in Applied Psychology and Human Relations, complemented by a minor in Sociology/Anthropology. My academic journey aims to culminate in the attainment of my bachelor's degree by 2026, after which I aspire to pursue a law degree to obtain my Juris Doctorate to become a family lawyer. Over the years, I have cultivated valuable experiences in the realms of education, mentoring, and customer service, enhancing my interpersonal and communication skills. Additionally, I have actively engaged in volunteer work, including contributing to food pantries, serving as a dedicated child tutor, student mentor, and fulfilling the role of a personal caretaker for infant relatives.
