years of professional experience
I am currently at The University of Arizona studying Criminal Justice with a minor in psychology. I am a member of Alpha Chi Omega. While being a part of Alpha Chi Omega, I completed several volunteer projects, such as working with Emerge and Pima Animal Care Center. I am passionate about volunteering and being part of my local community where I can make a difference in and out of school. In High School, I have completed six AP Classes and remained on the honor roll for six semesters of High School while maintaining a weighted 4.0 GPA. I was a part of 2 competitive dance teams in high school as well as a full-time student; keeping a high GPA shows that I am dedicated to everything that I do. Having to juggle school and dance has taught me time management, efficiency, and the importance of strong communication skills.
