About
I have a BS Systems Engineering and have worked for over 20 years as IT System Administrator. I was laid off in 2009, and decided to go back to school. I discovered social psychology - the biopsychosocial model and how our social context influences our attitudes and behaviors and how we may influence those around us. I have found my passion in life for my third career.

Goals and interests

I am currently in Portland, Oregon and I would like to remain in the area. I am looking at Portland State University and Oregon State University.
