Criminology and Criminal Justice
In Introduction to Criminal Justice, we had the opportunity to tour Ventura County Jail, which completely shaped my opinions on corrections. The ‘Procedural Law’ class with Professor Oakman helped me understand our laws and court systems. Professor Oakman gave us the opportunity to watch a case live and it put into context everything we learned in the classroom.

Exercise Science
The Exercise Science department has prepared me for my future career by giving me many hands-on experiences with equipment in the field. Cal Lutheran has exceptional labs that allow us to collect a lot of data! I also have had the opportunity to complete directed research, which helped me to better understand and conduct research.

Film and Television
I work in both post and field production following and helping define episode story lines. When I am field producing I conduct interviews with the cast, produce scenes, and create story documents that are sent to the network. When I am working in post production, I work with editing technologies to prepare the footage for an editor. I make sure the best footage and moments are used in order to create a television series.
