Hello, I'm Moriah.
I'm a recent college graduate who is excited to dive into her career!
ABOUT ME
“Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less.”
―Norman Mailer
I am a recent graduate of Stevenson University . I earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice while also minoring in Human Services. I am currently working towards my Master’s degree in Communication Studies. My commitment to my studies shows that I am dedicated and hard-working. This, coupled with my time as a student-athlete and student-worker, has helped me become a very well-rounded individual. I've maintained Dean's List academic status 7 out of 8 semesters. I'm also a two year All-American, three year All-Region and All-Conference athlete, and a four year All-Academic recipient. In addition to this, I am also a NCAA "2019 Woman of the Year" honoree. After my four years of eligibility for volleyball were completed, my competitive spirit drove me to compete on the track & field team as a triple jumper and long jumper.
In addition to my love for athletics, I also hold a passion for health & fitness. During my undergraduate years, I worked at the Jewish Community Center. I held three different positions: a Fitness Center Consultant, a Member & Guest Services Associate, and also a Welcome Desk Associate at the Pool Park. These positions, along with my previous experience as a Volleyball Camp Counselor, Assistant Coach, and Team Manager has helped me to live out my passion for fitness while also helping others and sharing what I've learned.
Now that I have transitioned into the professional world, I’m interested in a position that will combine my three areas of study into a fulfilling career. I have a deep interest in learning, reforming, and contributing to our nation’s criminal justice system, and I thrive in settings that allow me to interact, communicate, and study a multitude of different people.

Academic Honors & awards
Here are some of the ways I was recognized throughout the academic years!
Presidential Fellowship Scholarship (2015 - 2019)
Received a full scholarship to attend Stevenson University based on high school academics, extracurricular activities, and community service.
Dean’s List (2015 - 2019)
Acquired a GPA higher than 3.5 in the fall and spring semesters of my freshman year (2015 - 2016), the fall and spring semesters of my sophomore year (2016 - 2017) and the fall semester of my junior year (2017). During the spring semester of my junior year (2017), I received honor roll status which requires a GPA higher than 3.2. However, in the fall and spring semester of my senior year (2018 - 2019), I was back on the Dean’s List.
Cum Laude (2019)
On May 23rd, I graduated with Cum Laude honors. This honor is given to graduating students who have obtained a GPA between 3.5 - 3.7.
Athletics
VOLLEYBALL
(2015 - 2019)
One of the main reasons that I decided to attend Stevenson University was because I was being recruited for volleyball. Being a member of this team is one of my greatest memories from my time there. During my four years as starter, I helped my team win four MAC Conference Championships. We also competed in the NCAA tournament all four years. During my tenure, my team earned a regional ranking of #2 and a national ranking of #15.
TRACK & FIELD
(2019)
Once my four years of NCAA eligibility in volleyball was completed, I found myself at a crossroad. I knew that I didn't want to be just a regular student with a lot of free time on my hands. I'd been participating in athletics since I was six years old. However, I knew that I didn't have much experience in any other sports. Eventually, my competitive spirit drove me to give Track & Field a try and I decided to join the team as a Triple Jumper and Long Jumper. Surprisingly enough, it actually came very naturally to me. In the spring of 2019, I placed 5th in the MAC Conference for Long Jump.

CURRENT POSITION
RAM Service Associate
September 2019 - Present
While I search for my ideal job and work towards my Master’s degree, I’ve been working at T. Rowe Price as a Service Associate in RAM (Retail Accounts Management).

Other Experiences
BODY-WORN CAMERA UNIT
Internship at the State Attorney's Office
(January 2019 - August 2019)
This past semester I applied for an internship at the State Attorney's Office of Baltimore County. Three days a week I would travel to the courthouse in Towson, MD and help the Evidence Specialists prepare the necessary evidence for trial. This included sorting, analyzing, and editing the camera footage. I was also asked to note (known as "marking") the footage for significant events, as well as, redact (known as "shielding") all personal identifying information. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to continue on as a volunteer after the internship was completed.
FITNESS CENTER CONSULTANT
MEMBER & GUEST SERVICES REP
WELCOME DESK ASSOCIATE
Jewish Community Center
(June 2017 - August 2019)
As an employee at the JCC, I got to meet new and exciting people every day. During my time there I worked as a Fitness Center Consultant, Member & Guest Services Representative, and also a Welcome Desk Associate at the Pool Park. Working for three separate departments, you can expect each work day to be different, and more interesting than the one before — something I enjoyed and looked forward too. I loved working with motivated people and sharing my fitness knowledge and skills. Not only that, but I also enjoyed giving tours and welcoming new members to an establishment that was so instrumental in my childhood.
REPRESENTING STUDENT ATHLETES ON & OFF THE COURT
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)
(September 2015 - Present)
My experience as a student athlete has afforded me many opportunities to improve my work ethic, time management skills, and people skills. I've been able to take what I've learned on the court and apply it to experiences off the court.
Volleyball has also given me the opportunity to give back to the sport I love by mentoring and teaching other young volleyball players through my experience as a Team Captain, Team Manager, Volleyball Camp Counselor, and an Assistant Coach.
In addition to that, volleyball has allowed me the chance to speak to groups of people about my experience as a Student Athlete through the platform of FCA. Just this past winter, I was asked to be one of the guest speakers for their Regional Banquet.
