ANTICIPATED GRADUATION DATE:
May 2022
HOMETOWN:
Worth, Illinois
WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:
I knew that I wanted to get a Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice at a university in the Chicagoland area after I finished my Associate of Arts in criminal justice at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills. I applied to Roosevelt in my second-to-last semester during my time at Moraine. Shortly after, I was accepted in no time, and everything went from there.
MAJOR/MINOR:
My major is criminal justice. I am minoring in philosophy, too.
WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:
I chose to major in criminal justice as I have always had an interest in learning more about crime, criminality, criminology, law, social justice, etc. It also made sense for me to minor in philosophy, since I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out what is the actual truth, what constitutes true knowledge, and how to uncover reality.
DREAM JOB AND WHY:
As of right now, I am considering some sort of career in probation. I want to reduce recidivism and help people take the right steps to get on the right path. However, I am open to working in other federal and state jobs as well, especially the post office, or airport. In either job, it would be great to just work close with the community.
FAVORITE SPOT-ON CAMPUS:
I always go to the Murray-Green Library whenever I am on campus.
EXTRACURRICULARS:
I am on CASSAC. I serve as a general member.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”- Dolly Parton
FAVORITE SPOT IN CHICAGO:
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co.
FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM:
Chicago White Sox
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED:
The Dark Knight. I’m a big superhero fan if you couldn’t tell.
FUN FACT ABOUT ME:
I love to travel! Disney World is my absolute favorite place to go to.
