Summary

I am at a Junior level of my secondary education. I graduated high school in May of 2022. I am majoring in Public History with a Minor in Philosophy and a Museum Studies Certificate. I took several online college classes while still in high school, and graduated with over 30 college credits. Because of the amount of credits I accumulated while in high school, I am projected to graduate early.
