I currently hold a B.A. in General Studies with a minor in History from McNeese State University, after graduating from DeQuincy High School.  I was the first dual enrollment student to participate in the McNeese STEPS program when it was introduced at DeQuincy High School.  Participating in this opportunity while obtaining my degree allowed me to experience an in-person dual enrollment program, traveling to McNeese each day from a rural high school environment.  This experience enriched my educational journey and allowed me both a unique high school and college experience.
