Major: B.A. in Criminology
“I transferred to UTD in 2021 after earning my Associates from Dallas College and completed an internship with the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center in 2022, which sparked my passion for non-profit work. I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and briefly worked in the fitness sector before starting as an Intake Coordinator at a non-profit in early 2024. I was promoted to Case Manager later that year, supporting women and girls who experienced sexual exploitation. Inspired to further my impact, I decided to pursue a paralegal certificate and transitioned in 2025 to a new role with an organization focused on supporting youth in making healthy, positive choices. I’ll begin my paralegal studies at SMU this summer to continue driving meaningful change! “
