Bio
I graduated cum laude and as president of Delta Tau Alpha Honor Society with a BS. I joined the Army immediately after graduation to avoid having a boring and predictable life. Once deployments became boring and time with my family became my priority, I ETS'd. I got my Masters in Social Work in May 2019, and now I’m just rocking out in my 30s.
