About

A little about me, I was born and raised in Connecticut where my education began at home. I was homeschooled through elementary and high school. After graduation, I took a few years off to work and save money for college. I applied to Jones Jr. College and after a year I was accepted to study at the University of Southern Mississippi. After three years of studying Psychology, I hope to graduate in May 2024. After receiving my bachelor's degree I hope to pursue a master's in Counseling Psychology.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I hope to use my education to become a Counseling Psychologist. For as long as I can remember, connecting with people and helping others have been my passions. I am so excited to one day partner with others on their healing journey.

Graduate school interests

After completing my bachelor's degree, I hope to receive my master's degree in Counseling Psychology.

Outside the classroom

In my free time, I love to create graphic design art. I also love cooking, baking, and crocheting. Yes, I'm pretty much a twenty-something grandma!
