A Conversation with Kristen
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending East Texas A&M?
East Texas A&M is the perfect size. It's big enough to offer quality degree programs and a bustling campus life, with great resources and fun events, yet it’s small enough to maintain a personal family atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and included.
What do you like most about your career?
I especially enjoy the editing process. As I carve out a polished written work from a rough draft, I can relate to the satisfaction a sculpture artist must feel.
