Education

Hardin-Simmons University

I am a Senior at Hardin-Simmons University.  I will be graduating in December 2013 with a BBS degree in Psychology.  I currently hold a 3.81 GPA.  Prior to attending Hardin-Simmons, I attended Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colorado where I took part in duel-credit classes and achieved a 3.98 GPA.

Hardin-Simmons has especially influenced my education by challenging me to learn beyond facts and theories.  I have not only learned to memorize and regurgitate information but to think critically and develop perspective that will equip me for endless different scenarios in life.
