Throughout my various platforms, I have been able to turn a hobby into something sustainable. I believe that even if something is not geared towards your future career, you can use it to enhance skills needed for any job: communication, critical thinking, conflict-resolution, and creativity. In this role, I have been able to flip vintage clothes into wearable pieces. I believe in environmental awareness and preventing clothes from textile waste is necessary in our generation. Thrifting is something I began to do for fun at a young-age, and I have been able to turn it into a job that allows me to bring curated fashionable pieces to different consumers.

• CEI internship - Throughout my senior year of high school, I was able to complete a part-time internship at a local criminal defense law firm. Not yet a college student, this internship entailed observing the roles of attorneys and how they went about certain processes. I was able to attend court and hearings with several of the attorneys. I was able to see firsthand how the legal system worked. In addition to this, I did front desk management, as well as looked over cases to understand how certain processes were gone about. I learned about the variety of cases that are appointed in criminal law.
