On her career dreams.
I plan to pursue a career as a criminologist because I’ve always been deeply passionate about the criminal justice field. Every year, I attend a police academy where I have been learning fascinating and often eye-opening stories from professionals who currently work or have previously served in law enforcement. Listening to their real-world experiences, the challenges they face, the critical decisions they make, and the meaningful impact they have on their communities has deeply inspired me.
These stories have fueled my curiosity about the justice system. They’ve also strengthened my desire to study crime, understanding, and applying research and critical thinking to help solve real-world criminal problems in law enforcement and public policy.
Her favorite Dawn Treader memory:
My favorite memory at Dawn Treader Christian School is the morning worship sessions, when everyone gathered together to sing and praise. There is something so special about starting the day centered on God. Another memory that stands out to me is our Bible classes. They weren’t all just about learning Scriptures, they were spaces and times where I could ask questions, share my faith, and grow spiritually along with others. Looking back, those experiences shaped my faith in lasting ways and helped me build a stronger foundation in Christ. Throughout those moments, my understanding of God grew, and my faith was strengthened in ways that continue to impact me.
