Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
I initially thought I wanted to become a doctor.
I spent a couple of years as a biology major and tried out medical assistant school but realized that I didn’t actually enjoy science.
After a five-year break, I went back to school to pursue communications.
I earned my associate degree in communications studies while working and raising two kids.
I work in public relations and marketing for the Office of College Relations and Marketing at Austin Community College and as a career services advisor at the College of Health Care Professions.
After I complete my bachelor’s degree, I plan to build my career in public relations.
