Bio

I am a part-time grad student currently in the M.A. program. I received my B.A. from the University of Nebraska. As an employee of the University the Tuition Remission program has allowed me to further my education. I chose Sociological research not only because it’s interesting but because I think it’s important to try to continually understand how the world works and changes. After meeting the welcoming faculty, staff, and students in the department applying to the Sociology program was an easy decision. I am currently researching how health insurance and health information informs health-seeking decisions.
