About

I am a determined accounting major that dreams big, but works even harder. Being a military spouse has thrown many obstacles down my path. My creativity and flexibility enables me to overcome the many challenges that come along with my role. Regardless of the circumstances and moving to new places, I still achieve my goals by making changes to original plans. I make the changes I can while making the best out of what cannot be changed. This strength serves to make me a vital asset to the Honor Society. I am able to encourage others to overcome similar circumstances and to never give up.
