15 minutes with Christa Moore

What year are you at Ada High School?
I’m a senior.

What are your plans after high school?
I’ve been accepted at Ohio State University, Columbus. I plan to double major in psychology and criminal justice studies. After college I want to obtain a master’s and then a doctorate. I hope to attend John Jay College of Criminal Studies for those degrees. So, I’d like to become a forensic psychologist.

Is that what you wanted to be when you were little?
No, I wanted to be a doctor, but then in high school I received terrible grades in math and science.
