About me

Hi! My name is Zarah Belandria, I’m 21 years old, and I’m originally from Venezuela. I’m currently majoring in Criminal Justice, driven by a deep passion for justice, investigation, and helping those who need it most. My goal is to pursue a career as a lawyer, detective, or forensic specialist and no matter which path I follow, I dream of ultimately working with the FBI.

Outside of academics, I’m a creative at heart. I love traveling, painting, creating, reading, dancing, and spending time with my dog and the people I love. These passions keep me grounded and constantly inspired.

I’m also the founder of The Wickery Store, my small but growing business where I craft handmade candles. My vision is to see this business flourish to the point where I can use a portion of the profits to fund my future foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence. My mission is to help them escape abusive situations, reclaim their freedom, and fight for their rights. Everything I do, from my studies to my creative projects, is guided by a desire to bring light, whether through justice, art, support, or even carefully poured candles.
