About

I am 32 years old and I have been in the Active Duty US Army for approximately 13 years. I have a sweet little 7 year old daughter who is my motivation to continue to take my education further. I live in Walker, Louisiana temporarily until I am moved again. I am in graduate school to not only develop myself but in order to ensure I can have a path outside of the military. Unfortunately, we are only allotted so much money per year for school, which is why I must obtain scholarships to help pay for school, as I have transferred my second education to my daughter for her future.
