Summary

Highly-motivated student eager to utilize knowledge obtained in the criminal justice major to become a Victim Advocate. From years of customer service work I have acquired interpersonal communication skills and problem-solving abilities. A quick learner and very versatile, I believe all of these skills will help me in my future endeavors. When teaching abroad, I was taken out of my comfort zone, which made me more independent and less likely to hold back from arisen opportunities. Overall, I believe the skills I have acquired over my years of employment and the knowledge I will acquire from my studies, will make me a great candidate for a career in advocacy.
