​My name is Kahlan Saunders and I am a freshman attending Old Dominion University, majoring in criminal justice. I currently live with my mother and my younger sister in Henrico, Virginia. I also have an older brother who just recently became a father, giving me my first niece. I am typically an easy going, friendly, and enthusiastic individual once a person gets to know me. The United States is my original homeland, as I was born in and raised in Henrico, Virginia. Some strong interests of mine include the criminal justice system, astronomy, fishing, music, and physical activity. I enjoy creating instrumentals, writing lyrics, drawing, and marksmanship. So far in my college journey, I have been doing exceptionally well in all of my courses and continue to do so in my future years. Some of my long term goals I wish to accomplish once graduation passes, are to acquire the title of  homicide detective, become financially stable, and to start a family.

Why Make an ePortfolio?

Throughout my years of education, some courses taught me that it would be incredibly important to possess a reference item for the future. The reason why is because corporations do a lot of background research and love to see the accomplishments of possible employees. I feel that having an ePortfolio, containing my honest works and background information would be an excellent reference tool to have when I apply for my dream job in the future. Aside from being a reference tool, I feel like the main point in making an ePortfolio would be to show case these essays I have worked hard on throughout the semester. My select workings will exemplify the growth, critical thinking, and research skills required to make these papers.
