About
I want to help others that are broken in addictions and that have been traumatized like I was for so long. I want to help the lost find their way, to be the parents that they are suppose to be or the children that they should be, not what stigma has taught us what that are.
Education
-
Grand Canyon University
Bachelor of Science in Counseling

Honors and awards
-
president's list, deans list
I have never been on the honor roll at any school much less the dean's list or president's list and I have achieved that since starting in 2023.
Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended job path is to get my masters and change some of laws that the Arkansas and the surrounding states have about addictions and recovery.
- Outside the classroom
I love to help the broken, spend time with my grandchildren and family, travel, cook, and do new things. I love all kinds of music and going to concerts. I never got to be a kid so you can say I am living my 20s in my 50s.
