Road To Grad School
I recently graduated from Jacksonville University with a BFA in Music Theatre. I made the decision to graduate early to focus on making a shift in my intended career path. In October 2010, I realized that while I love performing, my heart was telling me to do something else. I am currently looking into pursing a Master’s in Public Health with specializations in Physical Activity and Health Policy.
This decision was a bit of a shift and came as a surprise to my family and peers. I have had a lot of ups and downs with my emotions regarding the change, but I am solid in my decision.
I hope you will follow my adventures as I enter the next chapter of my life!
This page will be updated throughout my journey!

Good luck on Graduate School !! I am currently earning my Masters in Public Health!!
We have a great program in Ohio, but the city is pretty bleak. If you have any questions about the program, let me know!
First of all, I just found your blog and love it! Don’t know why I only just found it. I can really relate to your eating struggles as well as the whole major change. I’m graduating in Dec ’11 too and though I’m a communications major with was set on being a producer one day, I want to expand my knowledge and love for nutrition so much. It’s definitely a lot of pull in different directions.
