Product

Before doing any of the required research for my senior project, I was pretty confident that I would want to pursue a career in either forensic psychology or law.  But after learning more about my topic, my interests have changed slightly.  As of now, my product is an interest in pursuing a career as an Operations Officer for the United Nations under the "Political, Peace, and Security" network.  Criminology is about understanding how people commit crimes and how society reacts to it.  This relates to becoming an Operations Officer because it requires understanding and interpreting an array of humanitarian affairs and conflict resolution on a global scale.  According to the UN, an Operations Officer "monitors political, military, police, humantarian, logistics and other relevant developments in assigned [Department of Peacekeeping Operations] peacekeeping, peace-building and special political missions." https://inspira.un.org/psc/UNCAREERS/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/UN_CUSTOMIZATIONS.UN_JOB_DETAIL.GBL?Page=UN_JOB_DETAIL&Action=A&JobOpeningId=23060
The job requires the ability to gather and interpret information from a variety of sources, which is what I've been doing for my research checks as well as for my science experiment and lab report.  It also requires leadership skills, such as being able to report to to other headquarters.  I have already displayed my ability to provide and explain information to other people during Science Fair, as well as my presentaions (specifically 5 minute).  I am confident in these skills and my grades for my science compnents reassures this (Lab report- P; Journal- AE, Science Fair score- 96/100).
