Bachelor of Arts: Communications (with minor in Psychology)
Upper Iowa University (May 2005)

*I have also completed course work towards a Master of Arts in Public Relations (January 2006-December 2007), which I completed through University of Northern Iowa before changing my major. I had completed all the course work, passed all the comprehensive exams, but never finished the research project. Therefore, I retain working knowledge pertinent to the public relations discipline.
