About

I am currently studying for an associates degree in Business Administration. After graduation high school as a mostly A's student, I went straight in to college and failed miserably for several years before dropping out entirely. I started college back up in the Fall of 2014 and my desire to finish at the top of my graduating class is my family. I am a mom to a wonderful little boy and wife to the most loving and supportive husband any woman could ask for. My husband and I have recently started a business and I hope to gain the insight and knowledge to "go the distance" with it. We currently live in Texas but plan to move back to Colorado with the understanding that by obtaining a good education, we will not only be able to survive, but "thrive" back home.

Career goal

My long term goal for a career path is to establish a sustainable business that will provide the income and lifestyle suitable for my family and myself. Once back in Colorado, I plan on obtaining a higher level position with a local government entity.

Graduate school interests

Upon graduation with my Associates in Business Management from Odessa College and finances permitting, I would like to continue on to get my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration as well. The purpose is to have the added knowledge to give me one more step above the other candidates and to also further my own business's knowledge.
