These classes were designed to give me mastery of Microsoft programs, and I passed each class with flying colors.

      Hello everybody, I am Bekah Koven, I use they/them pronouns. I am a sophomore here at FSU, I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Education. I plan to go to graduate school and get my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and become a counselor/therapist. I am well-versed in research about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as the LGBTQ+ community, and plan to focus on patients in the LGBTQ+ community and patients with ASD.     I have used technology for many different things in my education, just last semester I created a Jeopardy game for one of my courses.

Since then I have been in many online classes and use my laptop for basically everything school related.     One personal learning network I...
