I received my BA in Psychology and my master's in Social work. I am working on my Ph.D. exploring the epistemology of military veterans' sense of self-belonging one year after transitioning to military service. I have a certification to teach English from 6th to 12th grade. I am currently teaching English in high school at the 9th-grade level. I work as a PRN social worker at Baylor Scott and White and as a PRN therapist at Austin Oaks outpatient hospital. I currently serve in the Army Reserves, but before that, I served in the active-duty military for 12 years. I am passionate about English, Psychology, and Social work.
