Education

Western Kentucky University – Double Major: Philosophy/Political Science, GPA 3.6

My coursework throughout my undergraduate career shows a solid progression from budding student to critically thinking proble m

solver, with complete dedication to more than my classes, but my campus as well. Alongside all of my extracurricular activities, I

maintained focus on educating myself and honing my mental abilities, becoming more proficient at taking complex issues and

interpreting both their positive/negative attributes, possible solutions or compromises, as well as an in-depth analysis of their further

development. I have more than a piece of paper through this degree set, I have become an educated person with ideas developed

independently and the knowledge that I can succeed by fostering values like perseverance, commitment, and dedication.
