Summary

I graduated from Warner High School in May of 2022 as the valedictorian of my class. I then moved on to Connors State College to complete an Associates in Science, while majoring in Physical Education. I then moved my educational career to Northeastern State University in the fall of 2024, and switched my major to Cellular and Molecular Biology. I have made many academic accomplishments at NSU. One of these would be scoring the highest grade in my General Chemistry I course, with a score of 107%. Another one would be serving as an SI leader for the General Chemistry II course. I have also maintained a GPA of 3.89 for this degree plan. I have worked in a few different jobs along the way, including becoming self-employed for the majority of time I was enrolled at CSC. I have learned to be disciplined, well-organized, flexible, and goal-driven through my education career.
