About

I am a non-traditional college student. After raising my four children, I decided to get my degree. It's never too late to invest in your own education. I am studying at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska. Currently working on my associate's degree in General Studies and a minor in Psychology.

Goals and interests

Career goal: I currently own a photography business and still love photographing memories for my clients. My next journey is not clear to me. I am keeping my mindset open and waiting for it to be clear what I should do with the next career in my life.
Outside the classroom: I enjoy reading, crafts (crochet and painting), nature walks, camping, time with my dogs, and family time. This summer during Covid, I learned to play golf. I enjoy photographing nature, animals and people. I love movies and theater.
