About
Recently, I graduated summa cum laude from Valdosta State University after being a stay-at-home mom for over 20 years. During undergraduate studies, I developed a passion for research and learning about the world's religions. Currently, I am pursuing a masters degree from Harvard University's Extension School. My end goal is to broaden my personal faith, become a recognized scholar, and teach in the university system.
