Nakeya Thorpe

My name is Nakeya Thorpe, I was born May 9, 1994 in Elizabeth City North Carolina. I moved to Durham North Carolina when I was 7 years with my older sister and parents, my mom was offered a job at North Carolina Central University. I attended R.N. Harris Magnet School for Elementary and Kestrel Heights Charter School 6th-12th grade in Durham NC, once graduating high school I applied for North Carolina Central University and was accepted. I was hesitant to start college but after my freshman year was over it seems like time is flying by. I am a junior now and my major is Criminal Justice with a minor in Homeland security. I moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia in January and transferred all of my classes from in class to online class. I also plan to attend Norfolk State University for graduate’s school in Criminal Justice.  I am now employed at Norfolk International Airport as a gate agent. Between work and school my schedule is always booked but I know there will be a great outcome soon.
