Criminology and Criminal Justice
From the very first ‘Intro to Criminal Justice' course to the final ‘Criminal Justice Capstone’ course, my interest and conviction for pursuing a career in this field have only been reinvigorated with every course, experiential learning opportunity, and interaction with the diverse group of educators, guest lecturers and working professionals that I’ve had the pleasure to engage with. This department provided me with many opportunities to take agency over my learning experiences while offering support and guidance to forge the path that best fits my needs.

Music Production
It’s important to learn a combination of theory and application. When students graduate, they should be ready to develop their own sounds, their own musical tastes, and be creative in their own way. I teach them what I know and then they take it to the next level.

Psychology
In order to discover their purpose, students need to be given an opportunity to learn about what their community and their world need, in addition to learning about what their personal strengths and passions are. I try to give them a safe place in my work with them to talk about both.
