A little bit about me
I’m a criminal justice major with big dreams of becoming an FBI agent or a criminal defense attorney. Growing up in Washington, D.C., I’ve always felt a strong connection to my community and hope to gain professional experience in my home state.
On campus, at Tennessee State University I stay busy as a resident assistant, women’s basketball manager, and proud Pre-Law Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity member. I’ve also worked hard academically and have been honored to make the Dean's List three times. Beyond my studies and leadership roles, I have a passion for childcare and love babysitting.
I enjoy hands-on activities, learning new skills, and meeting new people, which fuels my drive to become a strong communicator and embrace diversity in everything I do.

"Mariana and I met at a playground near our neighborhood and, since then Mariana has being such a great support when I need someone to help me with my little energetic one, Olivia. I have required Mariana’s services when me and my husband have date nights or occasionally when one of us is traveling for work.
Olivia loves spending time with Mariana and learning some Spanish words. I keep in mind her opinion since she is the one that spends time with Mariana and her feedback is always good.
Every time I talk to Mariana, she is kind and respectful I have no complains she is awesome !!!"
