About

I have worked in the health care field for many years in different capacities, and after raising my children and watching them graduate high school and go further in their adult lives I decided to begin my own college education. Today I am proud to say I am a non-traditional student at Kansas State University-Salina. I am working towards a Bachelor's of Science degree in Social Work with a double major in Gerontology. My graduation date is May of 2018.
