Pursuing a PhD in Environmental Science
Throughout my time at Howard Payne University, I was blessed to meet so many friends and professors who were invested in helping me grow my faith. It is such a supportive place to be, especially when making the transition into college, and they still continue to support me now that I am in graduate school. I was prepared academically for my next steps, but I was also prepared spiritually to listen to where God is calling me to fulfill his will for my life. I am so thankful to have been able to pursue my interest in science, in an environment that supports my religious beliefs as well!
