Educational Background…

I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and attended Garton Elementary, Goodrell Middle School, and North High School.

I began my college journey three years, three majors, and a hundred miles ago at the University of Iowa. Not really knowing what degree I wanted to attain, I started out as a Journalism and Mass Communication major; I loved my journalism class in high school after all.

Once I figured out that I didn’t want to have to claw my way into the industry, I switched my major to Social Work. One day I was feeling a little ambitious and decided to add a second major: Communication. All was good and well until I hit another wall. The School of Social Work was a competitive program you apply to for which I fell short of the standards.

Still wanting to be in a helping profession, I chose to transfer to Iowa State University in the fall of 2007 in hopes of discovering a new path of education. I immediately claimed the Child, Adult, and Family Services major with the Child option.
