About Me

I’m a junior at Old Dominion University, majoring in criminal justice. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to work in the field of criminal justice. I will graduate in 2022 with my bachelor’s degree. My career goal is in criminal justice so I can put an end to widespread criminal activities. I want to contribute to investigations that takedown gang leaders, prevent illegal gun trade, and stop the distribution of illegal drugs. I grew up in an area in a city in Latin America where drugs, gang violence, and crime are on every corner.

This experience was not the only reason I wanted to study criminal justice, but it did play a big part. I started exploring the career more when I decided that a desk job just wasn’t for me. Throughout high school, I struggled because of the routine nature of it all. I saw the same people and attended the same classes every single day. I knew I didn’t want a job that would be that stagnant. That’s when I got the idea to work in law enforcement because there would always be a new challenge for me to tackle. After researching the field, even more, I set my sights on crime scene investigation.
