Biography
My name is Hafsah and I am currently a Master's student at the University of Ottawa. I hold a deepened passion for criminology as it was a guiding factor in pursuing graduate studies in this field. Upon learning about the intricacies of the Criminal Justice System through my seminar classes, my award-winning paper on organized crime, and numerous volunteer opportunities within the criminological field, I am certain that my experiences give me considerable insight into speaking and teaching about Criminology under the Faculty of Social Sciences.
