About
I am a non-traditional student, returning to achieve a lifetime goal of earning my bachelors degree some 25 years after graduating from High School. I have six wonderful children and a loving husband, and think one of the best things I can do for my children is set an example for them that persistence and hard work pays off, and it is important to invest in yourself and your education. I am extremely blessed to be entering a career field I am passionate about. I hope to work with women and children whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence and help bring healing to them and our community.
