I currently have an Associates Degree in Logistics from the Community College of the Air Force, a Bachelors Degree in Communication Disorders with a minor in Special Education from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), and a Master of Science Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Tennessee State University (TSU).

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. IF you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." 

-Michael Jordan
