I went back to school in 2019 and will graduate in December 2021 with an Associate's in Arts. This degree will be used later to transfer to a 4-year University to pursue a Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration. In January of 2022, I will start a Diagnostic Medical Sonography program graduating in 2023. After which I will pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Sonography while also pursuing a Bachelors in Healthcare Administration. Next I will continue onward to a Master's Degree in Healthcare Administration. I am an Active Duty US Army spouse with two beautiful boys of the ages 8 and 3. My 8 year-old son has moderate-to-severe Autism, when he and I are home from school I spend much of my time aiding in his care and therapies along with my 3 year old that also benefits from these learning strategies.
