I graduated from Missouri State with a B.A. in theatre.  I worked for several years in various clerical positions.  As stress from clerical work began to bring me low, I started looking for a different career that would still allow me to help people, but be in a lower stress environment.  Massage spoke to both of those needs. I am currently working towards my B.S. in Health and Wellness through Kaplan University, and hope to someday participate in massage research.
