Hey Friends,
Welcome to my personal biography. I am 46 years old and returning to school after 20 years. I am working on my Bachelor's Degree in Applied Science so I can apply for the Master's bridge program for Occupational Therapy. I have been a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant for over 20 years, and thought it was time to further my education. I have worked my entire career in the health care industry, and plan to continue working in this field until I retire, or win the lottery. I expect this class will be a challenge, but I look forward to learning about women's health around the world and the challenges faced by women today.
I have been married 25 years. My oldest daughter recently graduated from University of Arkansas with her degree in Community Health. GO HOGS! My middle daughter is in the Navy and is a Navy Nuclear Specialist, and my son is a Senior in High School. I love restoring old furniture, but rarely have time between work and school. I look forward to meeting new people, and hope to be hearing from you all soon!
Good Luck!
Amy
