About

Although I have only attended College of Western Idaho for one semester, I am able to transfer to the College of Idaho with over 46 credits for my second semester. This is largely thanks to the hard work I put in throughout high school, in which I did dual credit classes, obtained the International Baccalaureate degree, and graduated ranked third in my class with a GPA of 4.13. At the College of Idaho, I plan to work towards my end goal of becoming an Art Therapist so that I am able to make a positive impact in my community while also using a passion of mine, art.
