Bio:
I am an Associate in Arts University Transfer Student based at the Chatham County campus of CCCC and will be graduating with my Associate’s degree this spring. In the fall I will be transferring to a four-year university so that I can begin pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My hopes are to then receive my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and become a Licensed Therapist working with adolescents. Outside of school, I love to make art, be outside, and spend time with my family and best friend.
