Session: Wednesday, April 28, 9:30 a.m. – Hard Days Ahead: Forging a Focus Mind
Presenter: Carlos Garza
Session Description: Young adulthood is about exploration, whether if it’s through starting a career, education, and even in life. Sometimes, exploration can lead to opportunities in life. When I made the decision to minor in English to improve my understanding of the language, this led me to meet college faculty, which opened a whole bunch of things for me, including technical writing.
Bio: Carlos Garza-Medrano. I was raised in Garland, TX, which is a small town by Dallas. I am a family guy, and enjoy laughing like anyone else. I recently started working at Metrocare as a Qualified Mental Health Professional. I got my Bachelors of Art in Psychology at OLLU. I went on to get my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling at the University of Georgia.
