About

I am in the process of pursuing a degree that will allow me to continue to engage in public service for the good of communities. Having had several career positions that fostered personal and professional growth while instilling a commitment to serving people, it is now time to get the education necessary to keep growing. My hope is that with the education I am seeking in sociology and human behavior that I will be better informed and more knowledgeable about community and societal issues, the causes of those issues, and in a better position to help solve some of those same problem for the betterment of all.
