About

I am currently a full-time student at Johnson and Wales University studying Criminal Justice in the College of the Arts and Sciences. My experience in customer experience started when I was 14 years old! Additionally, I played travel ice hockey keeping me well-rounded leading to an amazing scholarship! After I complete my degree, I aspire to be a prosecutor in Rhode Island or back home in New York. I absolutely love connecting with people as well as learning new tasks, working with others and getting to know people, being social, caring, eager, and hardworking. Overall, I cannot wait for the opportunities that are awaiting for me.
