This portfolio aims to display who I am as not only a worker, but a person. There are so many aspects that going into picking and choosing a career and these highlight those ideas. Professionalism is very important but I also feel that it is important to be raw and truthful all at the same time. It may not be the norm but I think that’s how someone can get a good idea of who you are and who they want.

I want the main focus of my work to help people. I want to make a difference in individual lives and the world as a whole. My love of family and wanting to build my own one day is what motivates me. Work is important but family will always come first in my book.

I wouldn’t say I have lot’s of experience in criminal justice but I am confident that I have a well rounded amount of experience in plenty areas. I help my dad run his electrical company and when I’m home I help my mom with her stay at home daycare business. I love kids and I also love challenging myself and learning all types of things. The summer before I came back to school I worked at Auto Connection and picked up not only handy skills but also people skills.

I want my future career to be flexible with a family life and provide that fulfillment that makes me want to come to work everyday.

Some skills I feel like I have down is organization, networking and people skills and also going with the flow and being as flexible as I can.

Most people would say I like to stay very organized because it helps me stay on track when it comes to my work.

Im well aware my dad isn’t some big celebrity but I would choose to do the best I can to turn out like him. He built his life from nothing and has turned it into something beautiful and ambitious. He has values I adore and also am passionate about and in all his work he never looses sight of what matters most, family.
