About

I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Drexel University with degrees in Marketing and Business Analytics. My professional background is in intelligence, law, and consulting, with about 2 years of experience supporting U.S. Department of Defense operations. My goal is to pursue roles in law enforcement support and criminal investigation. Once I have identified my optimal career path, I plan to pursue a J.D., PsyD, or a graduate degree in forensics.
