I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and attend Midwestern State University’s Radiological Sciences program. I am currently a junior and slated to graduate in May of 2026. After graduation, I will be attending Washburn University to obtain my radiation therapy credential. Long-term, I would like to become the director of a proton therapy center and work to find ways to make radiation therapy a more economical treatment option.
