Meet the Staff

 Civic Engagement & Inclusion Intern

Ciarra is a Senior majoring in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Legal Studies. She says that working with CCEI allows her to create a safe and supportive environment for those who should be free to love who they are and can embrace themselves happily. She describes that growing up with an observant mindset, she has noticed many obstacles within historically underrepresented communities and seen the world filled with injustices.

Upon graduation, Ciarra wants to use her knowledge of the world around her to attend law school, where she aspires to become a District Attorney to bring justice to everyone, but especially to those who never get to have a say on their passions and goals. As a woman of color, she wants to inspire others who may fear the hatred of our world and shine a light on their darkness by advocating for them to use their voice to help build a positive community. 

She is dedicated to connecting with others, which will allow me to grow more knowledge, skills, and empathy within cultural engagement. She is excited to have the opportunity to further her learning in uplifting and educating individuals who feel unnoticed and yearn for support. For fun, her hobbies include baking, binge-watching shows, watching sports, and spending time with family.
