What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my education in cybercrime while contributing to a collaborative and innovative team.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Cybercrime and Digital Investigation at Michigan State University, building on my previous education in Business Administration and English. My academic journey has been marked by honors such as the Dean’s List and a fellowship at the Judd Leighton School of Business and Economics, showcasing my commitment to excellence.

In addition to my studies, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including my current position at Bar Louie, where I manage customer interactions and collaborate with team members to ensure a smooth dining experience. My background in early childhood education has equipped me with strong communication and organizational skills, allowing me to foster positive relationships and support learning in diverse environments.
