About

I went back to college in my 40s after bringing my 2nd child to college and realizing what I want to be when I grow up. I'm currently 11 classes shy of finishing my Bachelor's General Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. I work full time for a major airline, have one child left at home (a high school freshman) and my goal is to obtain my Bachelor's before my daughter graduates from high school.

Goals and interests

Career goal

As I began my major, my focus was to become an academic advisor at the high school or college level. As I have taken other sociology classes, I've decided that I may decide to pursue a Masters degree and look deeper into counseling teens with addiction.

Potentially attending grad school for a Masters in Counseling

Outside the classroom

Reading (when off semester), spending time with family, watching hockey
