In seventh grade, I watched both of my younger brothers receive care from an Occupational Therapist. Their physical, social, mental, and emotional actions improved tremendously from that care. From that point on, I decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my life working to help people. 

​

I did not end up as an Occupational Therapist, but through multiple professionals leading me in this direction, I found the wonderful world of Student Affairs in Higher Education. 

​

Since beginning to pursue my degree, I have made life goals that are absolutely pertinent to my idea of success. If I am a lifelong learner who constantly pursues growth for myself both professionally and personally, and to push others to do the same simultaneously, I will have achieved that goal.
