Research Assistant
2nd Year – Double Major in Political Science and Psychology + Minor in Crime & Justice


I have been passionate about the law & public safety for as long as I can remember. I am interested in discovering ways to refine public policies on the training and culture of peace officers using psychological research to improve their effectiveness in the communities they serve. Being far from home, I enjoy calling my family in my free time and working out when I am not studying. Back home in New Jersey, I am a firefighter for my local volunteer fire department, Jackson Mills Volunteer Fire Company, Station 54!
