About

At the young age of 7 years old, I had a stroke that almost took my life away from me as well as my family. I was in the hospital for about 3 months, and I've undergone a few major surgeries through my journey. I'm proud to say that I have recovered from the incident and am now going above and beyond with my future. In high school, I was a jump start student meaning I earned my Associate's Degree along with my high school diploma at graduation. I attended Renaissance High school and took concurrent credit through College of Western Idaho, Idaho State University, and Boise State University. I am a first year college student, but I have junior status with my AA degree. I do not have a job at the moment, but I do volunteer work at the hospital where I am the lead volunteer on Sunday afternoons.
