Criminology and Criminal Justice
As a Criminology and Criminal Justice major, I was able to study under compassionate and experienced faculty. I originally wanted to join a federal agency such as the FBI or DHS. Through the faculty mentorship, I was able to find a career in academia that I’m passionate about, be admitted into a graduate program, do meaningful research on police bias and reform, and launch my life into the next step.

Ideas have a life. When the life of ideas connects to the individual lives and experiences of students, I remember that ideas aren’t just abstractions. To remember that is to remember why I got into this business in the first place.

Exercise Science
Class topics like adaptations to exercise, motion capture analysis, and exercise in different climates were very exciting because of their practical application to my work. Also, each class was very reading and writing intensive, which prepared me for graduate school by improving my ability to dissect a research article for relevant information.
