>> I finished my degree.
I didn't start at Northwestern.
I ended up finishing at Northwestern because I stopped going
to school for a while to pay bills.
And one of the doctors I worked with said you know,
you're really too smart not to have a bachelor's degree.
We really suggest you go back to school.
And so I finished my degree at Northwestern in psychology.
And I was very interested in how people interact and how the brain works
and all the disorders that come with psychology.
So that's kind of how I ended up, you know, in psychology
and graduating with a degree in psychology.
And then I took some time off and went to work in New York for a while and decided
that I wasn't too sure about myself
if I could handle graduate level work or even medical school.
So I decided, well, let me see if I can get a masters degree, you know,
see if I can handle graduate level work.
And I did that, a Master of Liberal Arts in history and philosophy at Tulane and went
from there to get a masters in public health.
And now here I am at Georgia Southern doing a doctorate.
