Letter of Intent

Dear Viewer,
First and foremost, thank you for visiting my e-portfolio. I have designed this website to allow perspective employers virtually have a general understanding about me. I am a senior at The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ and will be graduating this coming May with a degree in Criminal Justice. Upon graduation, I want to be able to continue interning with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, eventually hoping to become a full time employee within the field of investigative work. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!
Respectfully,
Ashleigh

Leadership Experience

From the time I was very little, I enjoyed volunteering to help in any way I could.

I always had to make sure to set a good example and be careful of anything I said or did.

When I was in third grade I started taking karate at The Boonton Karate Academy, and shortly after that I became an assistant instructor, and eventually progressed on to teaching the junior class before beginning my own workout in the adult class immediately after. I continued with karate all through high school, but when I went to college it just became too difficult. Read more ...

School Exhibitions

This is a sample presentation a classmate and I put together. There was a dance marathon taking place at our school to benefit Haiti and we were doing our best to advertise it.
