Graduation Quarter: Spring 2021

I am currently a senior majoring in Criminal Justice at UW Tacoma. I began my college journey as a running-start student at Centralia College where I graduated with my Associate of Arts degree with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. I have a strong passion for social justice issues and international human rights. Working in the Office of Global Affairs has provided me with an opportunity to further my knowledge and advocacy in both areas!

I have always had a strong passion for travel. I have had the opportunity to travel to dozens of states within the U.S., most recently being New York. I have traveled abroad to several different countries, including Iceland and Italy. The next country I hope to visit is Thailand. I love learning about cultures different than my own and look forward to meeting students at UWT that are willing to share a bit of theirs with me!

I am highly passionate about study abroad opportunities. While I had planned on traveling to Ireland for the Comparative Criminal Justice program, it was unfortunately canceled due to Covid-19. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that all chances to study and travel abroad are opportunities to gain knowledge, regardless of your field, and to grow as a person. If you have questions about the program, please do not hesitate to reach out! I am looking forward to meeting you.
