Bio

Hello, I graduated from undergrad in 2013 and immediately started working. I had always thought to go back to school for my Masters but I am not a great Standardized Test taker, so I decided to wait. I found an amazing school that will help me achieve my goal of getting my MA in English, all while doing it online and from the comfort of my home when I am off work. For me, being able to have a low debt when I get out of my Master's would be amazing and would be the most helpful so that I can potentially go on to my PhD. I am a Jack of All Trades type of person: Professional Pyrotechnician Ordained Minister Photographer Bartender Certified Paralegal Inducted into NSLS as of August 2021 Advanced Leadership Certification as of September 2021 Inducted into Sigma Tau Delta English Honorary Fraternity as of September 2021

Bold Moments No-Essay Scholarship
I have always been afraid of heights ever since I was in Middle School. I was offered a "once in a lifetime" chance to go Zip-Lining in Las Vegas with my boss, his wife, and another co-worker in April of 2017. I was terrified all the way up the huge canyon but once I went the first time I was amazed how fun it actually was!
