About
I graduated from Bentonville High School in May of 2020 and started at the University of Arkansas in the fall. I began college as a business major and quickly learned that was not where my heart was. Sophomore year I changed my focus to social work and my interest and attention was spiked. I have a passion for drawing attention to what needs fixing and figuring out ways to change it. I will be graduating with a BSW in May 2024 and continue to graduate school following graduation.
Education

University of Arkansas
2020 – 2024
Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want to work with law enforcement and help implement more social work and resources into the departments. This will start to heal the relationship between the community and law enforcement once people who are in need of help are given resources to get out of the reoccurring crime circle.
- Graduate school interests
I plan on applying to multiple graduate schools but my goal is to stay with the University of Arkansas and obtain my MSW through their Social Work program. I am planning to utilize the advanced standing program and attend all classes in-person to allow further networking and growing connections.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy ceramics, reading, and watching movies in my free time. I love spending time with my friends and family as often as I can. I love cooking, hanging out with my small group, and napping. Caffeine is my love language and I try to go camping as much as I can when the weather is cool enough.
