>> When I first came to Rutgers, I intentionally came in as a nursing major.
>> Okay.
>> I started taking a couple of classes
and I didn't really love it as much as I thought I did.
So I looked around to other careers that would let me interact
with the public and a more one to one basis.
And I saw criminal justice.
I was always interested because as a toddler, you ever hear did you
like to be a fireman, a police officer, or pilot?
So I took a criminal justice class and fell in love.
And I just never looked back since.
I was actually one of the founding members of the Criminal Justice Organization.
It was a new group.
Our goal was to get all the criminal justice students in a non-classroom environment
because these classes are -- inter criminal justices are 2, 300 kids maybe.
And it's kind of intimidating to talk to the person right next to you and be like,
hey like how you like this class or whatever?
So, we also held events to help the members.
So we did career panels where we had members from -- like almost all federal agencies.
