About

In Spring 2016, I had a medical issue. Those courses were completed over the Summer 2016 semester and completed with an A for both courses. The transcript was not updated, but I will contact UNT to have this corrected.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Upon completing my Master's, I will become a medical librarian. I am also applying to the Interdisciplinary Information Science Doctoral Degree Program this year. With that, I will write, teach, conduct research, and design outreach programs that improve health literacy.

Graduate school interests

I work as a research assistant with on of my professors. We are co-authoring articles to submit for publication. I have attended a conference, and have others in mind to present work completed in tandem with my professor, Dr. Smith. I have assisted in grading grant applications as well.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy gardening, hiking, photography, travel, reading non-fiction, and exploration of knowledge, in general.
