The fields of recidivism and reentry are inherently interdisciplinary, often requiring a deep understanding of sociology, criminal justice, public policy, and geographical information systems (GIS), among other disciplines. Through my INDS degree, I’ve gained the skills and  to navigate these fields to address real-world issues.</p><p><strong>EXTRACURRICULAR</strong></p><ul><li><a href="http://https://retriever.umbc.edu/author/shanika-freeman/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Opinions Writer and Editor, The Retriever</a></li><li>Student Ambassador, <a href="http://https://entrepreneurship.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Alex Brown Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation</a></li><li>Student Volunteer for the Individualized Study Committee, <a href="http://https://inds.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Individualized Study Program</a> at UMBC </li><li>Intern with the "<a href="http://https://ihppod.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">"I Hate Politics" Podcast, </a>UMBC</li><li>Research and Evaluation Intern, <a href="http://https://www.aecf.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Annie E.
