The Basics

I am a 28 year old, recently married, graduate student originally from St. Louis but currently living in Fayetteville Arkansas. My main interests are running, music, sports (baseball and football), films, and spending time with people who make me laugh. But, as of late, most of these activities have been put on hold, as I decided to go back to school.

After spending 3 frustrating years working in the social work field after receiving a BS in psychology, I set my sights on new, more personally satisfying endeavors. The business world. Yeah, I didn't see it coming either.

I worked in accounting for a while before deciding to go back to school. I choose to pursue my graduate studies at the University of Arkansas' Walton College. It has now been 2 months since beginning my quest for the Walton MBA, and it is safe to say that my decision to attend the Walton College was a smart one. I have been completely satisfied with my experience to this point. The classes are interesting and challenging, taught by some of the most knowledgeable people I have ever had the chance to learn from. Also, the facilities are outstanding. Walker Hall really was build with the student in mind, and it shows. To top if off, the administrative staff has been very helpful with all my questions and concerns, which has been great, because I tend to have a lot of questions and concerns.

Right now, I am on spring break for the first time in five years, and it is great. I have caught up on some much needed, stress-free sleep. The past two weeks were consumed with mid-terms, so I am taking every chance I get to relax and give my brain a rest, because when school starts back up, I expect it to get even worse.

There's your 28 year recap.
