What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying criminology, forensic analysis, and research skills in a collaborative organization focused on evidence-based policy and professional growth.

I am a criminologist with a B.S. in Criminal Justice and currently pursuing a Master's in Criminology and Justice at St. John's University. I combine academic knowledge—courses in forensic science, criminal investigation, cybercrime, and victimology—with hands-on experience in data entry, administrative support, marketing, and customer-facing roles to deliver accurate analysis and improved processes.

I have a track record of improving operations, managing data with precision, and collaborating across teams to meet goals. I bring strong research methods, report writing, and analytical thinking to roles in criminal investigation, forensic analysis, and policy evaluation, and I am eager to apply these skills to a forensic, research, or justice-system position.
