About

I am currently a student at Freed-Hardeman University where I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have an Associate of Science in Psychology from Salt Lake Community College. During my time at Salt Lake Community College I obtained the President's List Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.82 GPA with more than 15 credits for the Fall 2015 semester. I also became a member of the Psi Beta and Psychology clubs at the college where I participated in various community service projects. I grew up in Utah and recently relocated to Tennessee with my husband to be closer to his family. I enjoy helping others through volunteer opportunities and community service projects. When I am not studying or in class I can be found outdoors cleaning up the environment or caring for my various pets.
