Current Residence :

Degree/Certificate:

Human Services, A.S.

Year of Graduation:

2023

I wanted to earn my degree because:

I wanted to earn my degree because I knew it was required for most jobs within the Human Services/Social Work field. Without a degree, I would not have the same advantage of getting a job.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My two children, who not only encouraged me but were as patient and understanding as they could be that I had to dedicate myself to my school work and class.

Jeannie Skiba- The world needs more professors like Jeannie. She was so wonderful and understanding, and a professor that I will always recommend, and never forget.

I’d like to give a shout out to:

Anyone who ever doubted me..... I DID IT!!!!!!

Stephane Browder- Thank you for letting me get carried away in class, sharing stories and personal knowledge!

What I like best about my degree program and what it means to me is:

I enjoyed taking psychology classes and learning more about how the mind works. This will always be a fascinating topic for me.

What I enjoyed most about my experience at Three Rivers Community College was:

I enjoyed sharing and hearing personal experiences within the classroom setting that pertained to what we were learning. I feel that these experiences can add more value to our work than information learned from textbooks alone.

Clubs, volunteer work, organizations that I participated in while at Three Rivers included:

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society- President

I plan to use my degree to:

Make a difference in the world, or at least in our local community.

Now that I have completed college, I’m most looking forward to:

Taking a break, just breathing and enjoying life, and giving my time to my children.
