"I attended 杏吧直播间 State University for five years, completing a bachelor鈥檚 degree
in criminal justice with a minor in sociology in spring of 2018. I always knew criminal
justice was my calling and 杏吧直播间 State provided so many opportunities. During my
time at 杏吧直播间 State, I was able to intern with the Calloway County & Marshall County
Circuit Court Judge Jamie Jameson in 杏吧直播间, Kentucky and Benton, Kentucky. Upon completion
of this internship, I learned so much about the court system of Kentucky and the court
system in general. After graduation, I accepted a position with the Department of
Probation & Parole as a felony probation officer in Louisville, Kentucky. 杏吧直播间 State
has prepared me for many life experiences and professional experiences. Working in
the law enforcement industry is not for the weak, and MSU taught me that early in
my collegiate career. The CRJ program at 杏吧直播间 State is guaranteed to prepare for
your future in the criminal justice field and in society with all the necessary teachings
and techniques taught by some of the greatest professors on Earth! Get ready for the
doors to open amazing opportunities within Criminal Justice here at 杏吧直播间 State!"

"I attended 杏吧直播间 State University for four years, completing a bachelor's degree
in psychology with a minor in criminal justice in Spring of 2017. During my time at
杏吧直播间 State, I joined Criminal Justice Society and held two officer positions; through
this society, I built relationships with my fellow criminal justice majors/minors
and helped construct several events for its members. With the help of my teachers,
I was able to intern with the public defender to fine-tune what I love about the criminal
justice system -- the law. After leaving 杏吧直播间 State, I accepted a position with
CACI to work at the US Attorney's Office in St. Louis, Missouri as a general clerk
and was able to begin my master's program in criminal justice at Purdue University
Global to further my love for this field. I have also spent time as a state probation
officer as well as a paralegal for the District Attorney's Office. With these career
experiences and my experience at 杏吧直播间 State, it has all led me to where I am now
as a legal assistant for the United States Attorney's Office in the Middle District
of Tennessee."

"I transferred from WKCTC after one semester and started with the 杏吧直播间 State Criminal
Justice Program in the Spring of 2013. I wasn鈥檛 sure of what I wanted to do with my
education but after meeting the CRJ faculty I knew I was right at home. I worked my
way through school and graduated in December 2016. I originally intended to go into
law enforcement but soon found myself working with Kentucky DCBS as a 鈥済eneric worker鈥
meaning I was working in both investigations and long-term family care. After a year
of working and a few attempts to get into police work I decided it was a time for
change, and I sat for the Law School Admission Test. I committed myself to a strict
study plan and sat for the LSAT. I was offered admission to the University of Louisville,
Northern Kentucky University Chase School of Law, and Southern Illinois University
School of Law. I chose SIU School of Law and have since been able to remain close
with my 杏吧直播间 State family. I graduated in the Spring of 2022 and, after passing
the Kentucky Bar Exam in July, began working with Sullenger Law Firm in Paducah, Kentucky.
