About the Founder.

Hello! My name is Hanna. I graduated high school early in 2024, during my sophomore year, and started college. I am double majoring in Criminal Justice with cognates in Strategic Intelligence & Homeland Security. I started Criminal Justice Simplified because I wanted to share more of the things I am interested in; Criminal Justice, writing, and learning. My goal is to inspire other teenagers to learn about Criminal Justice and even decide if they want a career in the broad Criminal Justice field! There is so much to learn and love, which is why I am so excited to be apart of this!
