As s survivor of Domestic Violence, I have worked through the family court system to protect my daughter and myself in two states for the last five years. In 2020, during the COVID-19 shutdown, I lost my 24-year photography and marketing consultant career. I returned to college full-time at 45 and explored trauma's effects on survivors and children in my free time. My research on trauma has taught me that the body keeps score and symptoms that arise from trauma can be healed. This research naturally brought me to reconsider my studies and purpose in life. After two semesters of marketing, I changed my major to psychology with a minor in criminal justice. My current undergraduate studies will allow me to continue to move forward in obtaining my Master's Degree, focusing on forensic psychology in the family courtroom. This degree will provide an avenue to help modify laws by advocating, educating, and working within the system. Since 2021, I've maintained a 3.83 GPA at Washington State University. My course workload is more than full-time, and I spend a minimum of 40 hours per week on my studies, in addition to homeschooling my daughter. Lastly, fighting for our continued safety through the court system, filing and answering motions, and attending hearings, never ceases year-round. I am committed to finishing my undergraduate degree to provide a secure future for my family. More importantly, I want to show my daughter how to work hard, overcome obstacles, grow stronger, and make a difference for others.
