About
I am pleased to be a member of The Honor Society. Over the past three years, my education at Auburn University and my shadowing experiences have afforded me with the necessary tools to succeed in graduate school. I am planning on earning my Doctorate of Occupational Therapy at Belmont University. Receiving scholarships would lift a huge financial burden off my shoulders and help me succeed in achieving my dreams.
