Summary
An ambitious Kennesaw State University Criminal Justice student with 87 credit hours and a 3.3 GPA, I am deeply motivated by a career in public service and national security. My academic specialization in homeland security, criminology, and sociology is backed by over four years of real-world experience managing high-volume operations and customer service. I have a demonstrated ability to resolve conflict, support teams, and maintain strict organizational standards under intense pressure. I am eager to leverage my strategic communication, threat assessment interest, and leadership experience to serve the U.S. Marshals Service or the U.S. Department of State.
