"I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance and support provided by the faculty of Seattle University’s Department of Criminal Justice, Criminology, and Forensics. Working alongside faculty, I learned to develop, write, and present research in criminal justice, and I gained valuable teaching experiences that fueled my interests and passion for working in higher education."
