CHABOT GRADUATING CLASS OF
: 2017
MAJOR
: Administration of Justice
|
|
CURRENT ENDEAVORS:
"After I graduated, I continued to be a student assistant at Chabot College and went on to achieve my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology, graduating summa cum laude, May 2019, from California State University, East Bay. I love Chabot so much that I desire to remain connected. Currently, I work in the Administration of Justice Department as a Professional Expert. I coordinate a grant awarded to the ADMJ Department by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to offer our ADMJ 42 Leadership and Integrity course to current law enforcement. As I continue to work at Chabot, I will be starting a Master’s program at the University of Cincinnati in January 2020. My graduate work will be based in Criminal Justice with a concentration of corrections and offender rehabilitation. My goal is to work with incarcerated individuals and assist them with their rehabilitation and reentry into society. I plan to pursue my doctoral degree one day!"
MEMORABLE CHABOT MOMENT
: "I would have to say that my entire Chabot College experience is memorable. In a sense, I restarted my life at Chabot College by being a great role model to my child, finding my passion, and being a student/student assistant on campus. I absolutely loved working for the CalWORKs Program, and the Administration of Justice Department as a student assistant. I am extremely grateful to continue to grow while working at Chabot and continue to make memories with people that will be in my life for years to come."
ADVICE FOR FUTURE ALUMNI
: "Always be sure to utilize the amazing resources on campus for students – it is absolutely okay to ask for help. I am extremely grateful for the resources I had and the programs I was a part of as a single parent. In my opinion, to pass a class, do the following things: attend every class, build a rapport with your professor, and turn in every assignment regardless if it’s your best work or not!"
