Bio

I earned my Associates in 2013 and my Bachelor of Science in Philosophy in 2015. I am a graduate of Ball State University’s Honors College with a thesis on disability and person-hood. I am currently a graduate student at Ball State University. I am a cane user and wish to be of service to disabled veterans wanting to make changes by assisting them in additional education choices for their future.
