I am currently an undergraduate student at Louisiana State University (LSUA) in Alexandria, LA. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. It is my intention to focus my studies on abnormal behaviors and the criminal mind.
Outside of my studies, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three daughters. We love to go on family vacations, and spend time outdoors. I am a huge movie buff and enjoy reading, music, singing, writing, gardening, and remodeling.
