Accomplishments

I few accomplishments over the last two years began with graduating college with my bachelors of arts in 2023. This was a huge accomplishment for me as I was also captain of the women's basketball team throughout my college experience and was able to lead the program on the court and in the classroom. After graduating and going into my field of study I decided I wanted to push myself further and explore the medical world as that option was not prominent at the small university I went to. I was accepted into a respiratory therapy program and am excited to learn and accomplish new skills.
