About

I am a Navy Veteran who decided to go back to school and change careers completely after being medically retired from the military. I enjoyed serving my country, yet I enjoy being a mom much more. I chose to go into forensic psychology because it is a cross between two things I love, helping people and the legal field. I do believe justice is for all, and should be equal for everyone.
