About
After completing a couple of semester's at CSUCI everything started to flow. At the end I even surprised myself by getting 100% on the final paper and presentation to graduate. The journey was incredible which is why I am now pursuing an MA in Anthropology, because I am energetic academically to keep pursuing even higher education

Goals and interests

There can be so much more success for people if the can block out the stigma and focus on their recovery.
