"My criminal justice classes deal with a lot of the human brain, mental health and mindsets, which gives me a sneak peek into criminal cases and forensic psychology. It's interesting how you can analyze someone's behavior through a person's actions."

"My dad has been in law enforcement from the beginning of his career. And so he's somebody that I really look up to and I like what he does, and he's really inspired me to wanna help others out there and get involved in the community and protect and serve the community. And so for me, getting a degree in Psychology was a big like leap towards that goal that I wanted to give. "
