Education
I attended Morehead State after high school to gain my Bachelor's degree in Biology. I originally wanted to go to P.A. school when I was an undergraduate.
I took a few years off from school after graduation and found myself working as a legal assistant for a friend's law firm. I gained a tremendous deal of experience with the public and knowledge of how our legal system works. I am so grateful for the time I spent there until deciding what to do with my future.
In 2017, I graduated from the University of the Cumberlands with a Masters of Arts in Teaching.
In May of 2024, I finished my second Masters degree in School Counseling. I have found my passion!
