Isabella Stevenson-Shimek

I am currently pursuing a dual major in Criminology and Psychology with minors in Spanish and English. My academic focus allows me to explore the relationship between human behavior and the criminal justice system while strengthening my communication skills in multiple languages. Through my coursework, I have gained a deep understanding of the social, cultural, and psychological factors that influence crime and justice. I am passionate about using this knowledge to promote fairness, rehabilitation, and meaningful reform within the system.

My professional interests include youth justice, criminal justice reform, and women’s rights. I am especially dedicated to advocating for young individuals who are impacted by the justice system and promoting programs that offer education, mentorship, and second chances. I believe that creating positive change requires empathy, awareness, and action, and I aspire to use my background in criminology and psychology to help address systemic inequalities. My goal is to pursue a career that blends research, advocacy, and community engagement to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active through sports, which have taught me teamwork, resilience, and leadership. I also value service and mentorship opportunities that allow me to give back to my community and uplift others. In the future, I hope to continue combining my studies and passions to advocate for justice, equality, and empowerment across all areas of society.
