About

I am currently about to transfer to Grand Canyon University from Paradise Valley Community College. I graduated with my Associates in science with honors distinction and have been accepted into the Honors College at GCU. I have worked full time for the last eight years as a Veterinary Technician paying my way through college. My Fiance and I bought a house last year and have been happy together for nine years. My activities revolve around school and work, however I also love to be active. I love going to the gym, hiking, and biking. I also read frequently. I read a book at least every two weeks.
