I earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Southeast Missouri State University in 2014.  While at Southeast, I was a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, and the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.  I also graduated Magna Cum Laude.

I began working as a Community Support Professional with Bootheel Counseling Services. There I assisted patients with mental health disorders meet their goals.  Later I transitioned my career to working at Southeast Correctional Center, a maximum security male prison.  Working at Southeast Correctional Center allowed me to teach classes to both offenders and prison staff.  

Teaching training classes to staff helped me realize what I wanted to do with my life:  help employees be better employees.  This combines my love of helping people, teaching, and designing.  It was then I decided to pursue a Masters of Science in Instructional Design and Technology from Trevecca Nazarene University.
