I received a BA in Sociology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2000 where I was vice president of the Sociology Honors Society. My studies focused on deviance/crime and the sociology of education.
I graduated as a valedictorian from Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, Colorado in 1994. I participated in several activities, including the back-to-back state champion Science Olympiad team, Key Club and various academic competitions.
