Before the Program
I was born and raised in Sacramento. I started a career in cosmetology when I graduated high school so that I could work with people and have a decent job while continuing my education. I started my education journey at Sierra Community College in Rocklin, CA. After earning enough credits to transfer, I relocated to Missoula, Montana, to continue my education. I obtained my bachelor's in sociology with a minor in history from the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. 

Why Cal Poly Humboldt Public Sociology?
I picked this program because of the hands-on experience it offers and the practicality it will bring to my career in academia. Another reason is the small cohorts and seminars that allow for a more personable approach to my education and research.
