Jada Cartwright is a senior at Stephen F. Austin State University, majoring in criminal justice with a minor in political science. Cartwright is originally from Lockhart, Texas, where she received her high school diploma from Cornerstone Christian Schools Online. Cartwright has extensive leadership and public service experience, from serving her small-town community to becoming SFA's 88th student body president. She is unafraid to take on new leadership roles and advocate for minority groups. Cartwright recently served as a congressional intern to U.S. Representative Pete Sessions (TX-17), where she learned the true definition of public service and dedication to constituency-based issues. After graduation, Cartwright plans to attend law school with a focus on civil rights practice. She aims to advocate for justice and equality in her future career and one day serve the federal government as a special agent focusing on human or drug trafficking investigations.
