I am a Junior here at Texas State and am projected to graduate in Spring 2022.  I am a native-born Texan and grew up just outside of Austin in Round Rock. My major is in Human Development and Family Sciences with a concentration on Child Life. I am a first-generation college student and have aimed at continuing my education and attaining my Master’s in Child Life at Texas State.  I hope to use my research experience to aid me in my pursuit of becoming a Certified Child Life Specialist
