Curious of crime and criminology from a young age I engaged in the pursuit of a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. This afforded me the opportunity to work with DHS as a Social Worker and then an Investigator. To expand my knowledge and for the love of learning I turned to work on a Masters of Legal Studies, giving me a broader and more in-depth view of the system I had already participated in. I hope to share my knowledge and lead you to a greater understanding of how our justice system functions!
