Education:
University of Colorado at Boulder 2001 - 2012
B.A., Dual, English Literature/Creative Writing/Sociology2011
Having begun my undergraduate degree in English Literature in the fall of 2001, I took roughly a four-year hiatus from school before my senior year to focus on myself, attend to family issues, and work full time. I have since returned to C.U., added an additional major, and am currently finishing up my degree and coursework. I prefer to discuss the reason behind my leave of school in person, but it has direct bearing on my desire to work with your organization.
