General Studies, A.S.Year of Graduation:
2023I am the first in my family to earn a college degree.
YesI wanted to earn my degree because:
I wanted to finish the degree that I started in my 20's. Now as an adult I have a greater appreciation for my education and wanted to finish what I started. Additionally, I want to show my kids that education is important and that learning can happen at any age.
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My kids, Sarah Selke, Amber De Souza, my dad, and my boyfriend.
I’d like to give a shout out to:
Myles and Maci.
What I like best about my degree program and what it means to me is:
The flexibility to learn virtually while being a single parent. This degree has helped me build my confidence and realize what I'm actually capable of accomplishing.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at Three Rivers Community College was:
The support of the staff and students has been amazing.
Clubs, volunteer work, organizations that I participated in while at Three Rivers included:
Cub Scouts den leader for East Lyme's Pack 7.
I plan to use my degree to:
Continue my education toward a four-year degree.
Now that I have completed college, I’m most looking forward to:
Taking the summer off!
