Peggy was born in Fort Eustis, Virginia, where she spent her youth running wild on nearby Civil War battlefields with her siblings. Peggy started her military career in the Air Force and then switched to the Coast Guard where she served for 26 years. When asked what her most memorable experience was, she said, “There are so many, I can’t just pick one because the people I served with were like family. I still keep in touch with many of them through Facebook and consider them all friends.”
Peggy joined VUB in the fall of 2010, taking classes in both math and writing. It was not long before Peggy’s relentless work ethic came to the surface; she never once missed class (even in the heart of winter), showing up in her arctic gear topped with blue and orange-rimmed glasses. She has been and continues to be an enthusiastic, genuine individual who never fails to see the positive side of life and share stories of her past with fellow classmates.
Peggy is currently enrolled at BSU and is still deciding between pursuing a degree in either Psychology or Social Work. She hopes to continue to earn both a Masters and a Doctorate degree—a goal that reflects her drive and dedication to her education.
