Summary
I am an enthusiastic, passionate, and highly capable individual, having just completed my Bachelor of Security Studies and I am currently completing a Masters in Criminology. I am passionate about studying Criminology and being of service to others who may be struggling. I have learnt time management skills and become a stronger, more confident leader. As a confident individual, I have formed connections with people who inspire me to be the best version of myself every day. I will use what I have learnt throughout these life experiences to put my best foot forward when it comes to achieving the marks I desire in my course, leading me to fulfil my interests. I am doing this degree to create change and help individuals who are in tough situations. Choosing to do the Bachelor of Security Studies has challenged my knowledge and have found a new appreciation of international and local events and what has led to where we are today. I have always had a passion for understanding the motivation and psychology behind different types of crime, and therefore would like to pursue my career in this sector, continuing to build my knowledge. This will then help me better understand and refine my personal learning goals and career aspirations.
