Education
Iowa State University
Currently, I attend Iowa State University studying public relations and political science. Through classes within my major and minor, I am strengthening my knowledge and passion to aid in my future aspirations. |
2020-Present |
Des Moines Area Community College
Receiving the Mark Pearson full ride scholarship, I was able to attend DMACC after graduating high school. There, I received my Associates degree in the Liberal Arts Program in one year. Starting at a community college, I gained a stronger appreciation of the work professors put into their classes as well as strengthened my time management and organization skills. |
2019-2020 |
Bishop Garrigan High School
I attended Bishop Garrigan High School in Algona, Iowa all four years of my career. Going to a private Catholic school gave me a sense of family. Garrigan prepared me for my future through STEM, extensive composition classes and an environment that cared about each of their students. |
