About
My main goal has always been to have a future job in the healthcare field. I graduated from Campbell County High School in Gillette, Wyoming and I currently attend Dakota Wesleyan University in South Dakota with an Undergraduate degree in Biochemistry/Pre-med. I graduated High School with a 3.99 GPA and earned Salutatorian honors out of a class of 415 individuals. During my first two years at Dakota Wesleyan, I have maintained a 3.9556 GPA while having a job as a CNA and being a starter on the football team. I play tight end for Dakota Wesleyan University.
